Warning: Use extreme caution when
installing or removing an outdoor an-
tenna. If the antenna starts to fall, let it
go! It could contact overhead power
lines. If the antenna touches a power
line, contact with the antenna, mast,
cable or guy wires can cause electro-
cution and death! Call the power com-
pany to remove the antenna. Do not
attempt to do so yourself.
Caution: Do not run the cable over
sharp edges or objects that move.
MOUNTING THE
SCANNER IN YOUR
VEHICLE
The most common mounting location
for this scanner is under your vehicle's
dashboard. If you use this scanner in
a vehicle, mount it securely to avoid
damage to the scanner or vehicle, or
injury to anyone in the vehicle during
sudden starts or stops.
Note: Mobile use of this scanner is
unlawful or requires a permit in some
areas. Check the laws in your area.
When you choose a mounting loca-
tion, be sure:
• You can easily reach the scanner
• All wires and cables will reach
their connection points
• Wires and cables will not interfere
with vehicle's pedals or other
moving parts
• The scanner is not directly in front
of any heating vents
Follow these steps to mount the scan-
ner in your vehicle.
1. Choose a mounting location, then
use the mounting bracket as a
template to mark the positions for
the mounting screw holes.

slightly smaller than the supplied

or damage objects behind the
mounting surface.
3. Attach the mounting bracket to the
mounting location using the sup-
plied screws and lock washers.
