CONNECTING AN
ANTENNA
Attach the flexible antenna to the anten-
na jack on top of the transceiver. Place
the antenna connector’s slots over the
antenna jack’s tabs, squeeze the base
of the antenna, and push down and turn
the connector until the antenna locks
into place.
Instead of the supplied antenna, you
can connect an optional antenna. The
BNC antenna jack on your transceiver
makes it easy to use with a variety of
antennas, such as an external mobile
antenna or an outdoor base antenna.
Caution: Never connect an antenna
that is not specifically tuned for the
transceiver’s frequency range.
Warning: When installing or removing a
base station antenna, use extreme cau-
tion. If it starts to fall, let it go! It could
contact overhead power lines. If the an-
tenna touches the power line, contact
with the antenna, mast, cable, or guy
wires can cause electrocution and
death! Call the power company to re-
move the antenna. Do not attempt to do
so yourself.
USING AN EXTERNAL
MICROPHONE
An external microphone can make it
easier to use the transceiver when you
clip it to your belt. Plug the microphone’s
cable connector into the
MIC jack on top
of the transceiver. This automatically
disconnects the transceiver’s micro-
phone.
Note: The transceiver’s push-to-talk
button still works with an external micro-
phone attached.
