Scanner Setup
Connecting the
Antenna
Attach the supplied antenna
to the scanner by aligning the
slots around its base with the
tabs on the scanner, and then
slide into place.
When using an external
antenna, always connect with
50-ohm, RG-58, or RG-8,
coaxial cable. If the antenna
is over 50 feet from the
scanner, use RG-8 low-loss
dielectric coaxial cable. If
your antenna's cable does not
have a BNC connector, your
local RadioShack store carries
a variety of BNC adapters.

Attaching the Belt Clip

Use a Phillips-head screwdriver and the supplied
screws to attach the clip to the scanner.

Powering Your Scanner

You can power your scanner with batteries, DC
adapter, or AC adapter.

Batteries

1. Remove the battery compartment cover.
2. Set the Battery Switch inside the battery
compartment to the appropriate setting:
• ALKALINE when using alkaline batteries.
• Ni-MH when using rechargeable (Ni-MH)
AA batteries.
