User's Manual

You must use a Class 2 power source that supplies 9V DC and delivers at least 300 mA.

Its center tip must be set to positive and its plug must fit the scanner’s PWR DC 9V jack.

Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage the scanner or

the adapter.

Note

• Always connect the AC or DC adapter to the scanner before you connect it to AC

power source. When you finish, disconnect the adapter form AC power or the power

source before you disconnect it from the scanner.

1. Connect the Adaptaplug™ to the adapter’s cord with the tip set to positive.

2. Plug the adapter’s barrel plug into the scanner’s PWR DC 9V jack.

3. Plug the adapter’s cigarette-lighter plug into your 12V power source.

Note

• If the scanner does not operate properly when you connect a DC adapter, unplug the

DC adapter from the power source and clean the socket, or check the adapter’s

internal fuse.

Antenna

Connecting the Supplied Antenna

To attach the supplied flexible antenna to the antenna jack on the top of your scanner,

align the slots around the antenna’s connector with the studs on the antenna jack. Press

the antenna down over the jack and turn the antenna’s base clockwise until it locks into

place.

Connecting an Optional External Antenna

The antenna connector on your scanner makes it easy to use the scanner with a variety

of antennas, such as an external mobile antenna or outdoor base station antenna. Your

local RadioShack store sells a variety of antennas.
