Setting Up Your Scanner

Setting Up Your Scanner
These guidelines will help you install and set up your new
scanner:
• If your scanner receives interference or electrical
noise, move the scanner or its antenna away from the
source.
• To improve the scanner's reception, use an optional
external antenna designed for multi-band coverage.
(You can purchase this type of antenna at a local
electronics store). If the optional antenna has no
cable, use 50-70 Ω coaxial cable for lead-in.
A mating plug might be necessary for the optional
antennas.
• Use the supplied mono headset for private listening.
Read the precautions on the inside front cover of this
Owners Manual.
• Do not use the scanner in high-moisture
environments such as the kitchen or bathroom.
• Avoid placing the scanner in direct sunlight or near
heating elements or vents.

Using Internal Batteries

You can power your scanner using supplied rechargeable
AA batteries.

Using Rechargeable Batteries

Before you use Ni-MH or Ni-Cd batteries, you must
charge them.
The scanner has a built-in circuit that lets you recharge
Ni-MH or Ni-Cd batteries while they are in the scanner. To
charge the batteries;
1. Make sure the power is turned off.
2. Slide the battery compartment cover.
