Connecting the Antenna Plug
Connect the mobile antenna plug (optional) into the ANT connector on
the rear panel. (For more information on antenna installation, please refer
to the instruction guide that came with your antenna.)
Connecting the Power Cord
Note: If you are not experienced in connecting accessories to the vehi-
cle fuse box, please see your automotive dealer for advice on proper
installation.
Installation for everyday use:
1. Check the vehicle battery connections to determine which battery
terminal (positive or negative) is grounded to the engine block or
chassis. Most of today's vehicles use a negative ground. If your vehi-
cle has a negative ground, follow Steps 2 and 3. Otherwise, skip to
the note following Step 3.
2. Connect the RED wire of the DC power cord to the accessory contact
in your vehicle's +13.8 VDC fuse box.
3. Connect the BLACK wire of the DC power cord to the negative side of
the vehicle (usually the chassis).
Note: In vehicles with a positive ground, the RED wire connects to
the chassis and the BLACK wire connects to the accessory contact in
the fuse box.
4. Insert the DC plug into the DC 13.8V jack on the back of the scanner.
Installation for Temporary Use:
A Cigarette Lighter Power Cord is provided for easy, temporary installa-
tion.
Warning: Do not use the cigarette lighter power cord in a positive
ground vehicle.
Plug one end of the Cigarette Lighter Power Cord into the cigarette lighter
jack and the other end into the DC 13.8V jack on the back of the scanner.
