Setting Up Your Scanner
Removing the Display Sticker
Before you use the scanner for the first time, remove the protective plastic film
over the display.
Connecting an Optional Antenna
The scanner’s BNC connector makes it easy to connect a variety of optional
antennas, including an external mobile antenna or outdoor base station antenna.
Note: Always use 50- or 75-ohm, RG-58, or RG-8, BNC terminated coaxial cable
to connect an outdoor antenna. If the antenna is over 50 feet from the scanner, use
RG-8 low-loss dielectric coaxial cable. Cable loss increases with higher frequency.
Connecting an Earphone/Headphone
For private listening, you can plug a
1

headphones (not supplied) into the headphone jack on the front of your scanner.
This automatically disconnects the internal speaker. See “Earphone Warning” at
the front of the manual for important information about using an
earphone/headphone.
