You can power the scanner from a vehicle's 12V power source
(such as a cigarette-lighter socket) using a 12V, 300 mA DC
adapter and a size D Adaptaplug™ adapter (neither supplied).
Both are available at your local RadioShack store.
To power the scanner using a DC adapter, attach the
Adaptaplug to the DC adapter so the tip reads positive (+)
and set the adapter's voltage switch to 12V. Next, insert the
Adaptaplug into the scanner's
end of the DC adapter into your vehicle's cigarette-lighter
socket. ±

You must install an antenna before you can operate the
scanner.
The supplied telescoping antenna helps your scanner
receive strong local signals. To install the antenna, thread it
clockwise into the hole on top of the scanner.
The scanner's sensitivity depends on its location and the
antenna's length. For the best reception of the
transmissions you want to hear, adjust the antenna's length
according to the chart below.
