VEHICLE INSTALLATION

You can mount your scanner in your vehicle, using either the supplied bracket or the optional
DIN-E sleeve.

Mounting Using the Bracket

With the bracket removed from the radio, use the holes in the bracket as a template to initially
mark the location you plan to use in your vehicle. Be absolutely certain of what might be behind
the mounting surface before making any holes, be it above, or below, or in front of your dash,
armrest console, or other location. If you drill carelessly, expensive damage can result. If in doubt,
consult your vehicle dealer's service department or a qualified professional installer.
Important: AVOID AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT ZONES. Ignoring this installation concern may result
in bodily harm and the inability of the airbag to perform properly.
1. Using appropriate screws or other hardware, secure the bracket.
2. Insert the scanner and insert the bracket knobs to lock the scanner in position.
3. Attach the Cigarette Lighter Power Cord to the rear of the scanner and plug the adapter end
into a dash mounted 12V DC socket.
4. Attach a suitable mounted mobile antenna to the antenna jack on the back of the scanner.

Mounting Using the DIN-E Sleeve

If you are unsure about how to install your scanner in your vehicle using the optional DIN-E sleeve,
consult your automobile manufacturer, dealer, or a qualified installer. Before installing, confirm that
your scanner fits in the desired mounting area and you have all the necessary materials to complete
the task. Your scanner requires a 2 x 7-1/8 x 5-5/16 inch (50 x 180 x 135 mm) mounting area. Allow
an additional 2-3/8 inch (60mm) space behind the unit for connectors and wires.
1. Remove the bracket if it is attached.
2. Remove the four Philips screws from four small tabs on the rear of the case that secure the
outer metal case and pull off the case (toward the rear) with care.
3. Install the DIN sleeve into the opening in your dashboard, lip facing out.
4. Push out the top and bottom tabs to hold the sleeve firmly in place.
5. Before inserting the scanner in the sleeve, attach the cable from the previously mounted
antenna. Attach the DC Power leads. RED goes to a positive (+)connection on your fuse
block while BLACK connects to the vehicle's chassis ground (-).
6. Connect the ORANGE lead to one side of the headlamp switch so that when you activate
the headlights, the scanner's LCD display changes intensity. Be sure all the connections are
routed away from any potentially pinching or slicing sheet metal.
