Connecting The Supplied Antrenna; Connecting An Earphone/Headphones - GRE PSR-282 Owner's Manual

Note: If you use a cigarette-lighter power cable and your
vehicle's engine is running, you might hear electrical noise
from the engine while scanning. This is normal.
Connecting the Supplied Antenna
To attach the supplied flexible antenna to the ANT jack
on top of your scanner, align the slots around the
antenna's connector with the tabs on the ANT jack. Press
the antenna down over the jack and turn the antenna's
base clockwise until it locks into place.
Connecting an Outdoor Antenna
The antenna connector on your scanner makes it easy to
use the scanner with a variety of antennas, such as an
external mobile antenna or outdoor base station antenna.
Always use 50 Ohm coaxial cable, such as RG-58 or RG-
8, to connect an outdoor antenna. For lengths over 50
feet, use RG-8 low-loss dielectric coaxial cable. If the an-
tenna cable's connector does not have a BNC connec-
tor, you will also need a BNC adapter.
Follow the installation instructions supplied with the an-
tenna, route the antenna cable to the scanner, then con-
nect it to the ANT jack.

Connecting an Earphone/Headphones

For private listening, you can plug a 3.5 mm mini-plug
earphone or headphones (not supplied), into
the top of the scanner. This automatically disconnects
the internal speaker.
Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you
use an earphone or headphones.
• Set the volume to the lowest setting before you begin
listening. After you begin listening, adjust the volume
to a comfortable level.
• Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended
high-volume listening can lead to permanent hearing
loss.
• Once you set the volume, do not increase it. Over time,
your ears adapt to the volume level, so a volume level
that does not cause discomfort might still damage your
hearing.
