Setup
Attaching the Antenna
Align the antenna with the antenna posts. Then slide
and turn the antenna in place.
If this scanner is your only means for receiving
weather alerts, make sure you can receive a clear
signal when using the flex antenna, or switch to an
external antenna.
For an external antenna, follow the antenna's
installation instructions. You also may need a BNC
adapter (available at RadioShack).
• For lengths between 50 and 100 feet, use 50-ohm
RG-8X low-loss dielectric coaxial cable.
•
For lengths of more than 100 feet, use 50-ohm RG8.

Warning: Use extreme caution when installing or removing an outdoor
antenna. If the antenna starts to fall, let it go! 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 Headphones or an External Speaker
You can plug
/
inch (3.5 mm) headphones (not supplied) in the
1
8
HEADPHONE jack.
Listening Safety
Do not wear headphones while operating a motor vehicle or riding a bicycle.
This can create a traffic hazard and could be illegal in some areas. To protect
your hearing, follow these guidelines:
• Set the volume to the lowest setting. Then turn on your iSCAN and
adjust the volume to a comfortable level.
• Avoid increasing the volume. Your ears adapt to the volume, so a level
that does not cause discomfort could still damage hearing.
• Do not listen at high volume levels. Extended high-volume listening can
lead to permanent hearing loss.
