These guidelines will help you install and set up your new scanner:
The UBC800XLT can be placed on a convenient surface in your home as a base
station, and connected to a standard outlet. You must use either the supplied
antenna or an electrically correct outdoor antenna, properly and safely mounted at
your chosen site.
The scanner is also designed to accommodate the DIN-E and ISO-DIN automotive
mounting configurations. A DIN-E sleeve is not supplied (optional hardware).
The unit can also be placed above or beneath the dash of your vehicle using the
supplied bracket and mounting hardware.
• 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 50-75 ohms
coaxial cable for lead-in. A mating plug might be necessary for the optional
antennas.
• Use an optional mono earphone or mono headset with proper impedance
(32 ohms) 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.

Base Station

This is the simplest approach to let you get started quickly. Decide on a location
that is convenient to a nearby wall outlet, has desk space to let you complete your
programming worksheets, will safely allow the indoor antenna to be extended, or
near a window to use an outdoor antenna.
