Applying Power Using Standard AC Power

To power the scanner from an AC outlet, use the provided AC adapter with a 5.5 mm outer
diameter/2.1mm inner diameter tip.
Caution: You must use a Class 2 power source that supplies 12V DC and delivers at least
500 mA. The cord connector's center tip must be set to positive and its plug must
fit the scanner's DC 12V jack. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifi-
cations could damage the scanner or the adapter.
• Always connect the AC adapter to the scanner before you connect it to AC power. When
you finish, disconnect the adapter from the AC power before you disconnect it from
the scanner.
1. Insert the adapter's barrel plug into the DC
12V jack on the rear of the scanner.
2. Plug the adapter into a standard AC outlet.
Note: Use only the AC adapter supplied with
your scanner.

Connecting an External Speaker

In a noisy area, an external speaker (available at a local electronics store) positioned in the
right place might provide more comfortable listening.
Plug the speaker cable's 1/8 inch (3.5 mm)
plug into your scanner's EXT. SP. jack.
Note: Connecting an external speaker
disconnects the scanner's
internal speaker.

Listening Safely

• Do not use the earphone. The volume is not adjustable for the Warning Alert and
damage to your hearing could occur.

Connecting the Clone Cable

You can transfer the programmed data to and from another BCT8 scanner using a RS232C
Straight Cable (9 pin to 9 pin) (not supplied). Connect the cable between each scanner's
REMOTE jacks. See "Clone Mode" on page 49. You can also upload or download the
programmed data to or from a PC using optional programming software available through
your local electronics store.
