User's Manual

Always use 50-ohm coaxial cable, such as RG-58 or RG-8, to connect an outdoor

antenna. For length over 50 feet, use RG-8 low-loss dielectric coaxial cable. If your

antenna’s cable does not have a BNC connector, you will also need a BNC adapter (not

supplied, available at your local RadioShack store).

Follow the installation instructions supplied with the antenna, route the antenna cable to

the scanner, then connect it to the antenna jack.

WARNING

Use extreme caution when installing or removing an outdoor antenna. If the antenna

starts to fall, let it go! It could contact overhead power lines. If the antenna touches a

power line, touching the antenna, mast, cable, or guy wires can cause electrocution and

death. Call the power company to remove the antenna. DO NOT attempt to do so

yourself.

Connecting an Earphone/Headphones

For private listening, you can plug an 1/8-inch (3.5 mm) mini-plug earphone or

headphones (not supplied), available at your local RadioShack store, into the

HEADPHONE jack on top of your scanner. This automatically disconnects the internal

speaker.

Connecting an External Speaker

In a noisy area, an amplified speaker (not supplied), available at your local RadioShack

store, might provide more comfortable listening. Plug the speaker cable’s 1/8-inch (3.5

mm) mini-plug into your scanner’s HEADPHONE jack.

Note

• You must use an amplified speaker with this scanner. Non-amplified speakers do not

provide sufficient volume for comfortable listening.
