Setting Up The Scanner

Note that the batteries are intended to provide backup power for the clock
and for scanning for a short time. When the backup batteries becomes too
low,

appears. Promptly replace the batteries.

When you either install batteries or connect the AC Adapter to a standard
Australia/New Zealand wall outlet, the scanner powers on and goes to
STANDBY mode. The display shows the initial clock time of :00 AM.
The scanner remains in

STANDBY mode.

Connecting an
Antenna

The scanner uses an
external loop antenna to
receive AM broadcast
stations and an external
telescopic antenna to
receive all other signals.
Connect the supplied rod

antenna by pushing the
antenna’s connector onto
the antenna jack on the back of the scanner and twisting it to the desired
angle. Connect the two wires from the loop antenna to the

AM RADIO

ANT terminals on the back of the scanner.

* Carefully remove the tube inserted before using the AM

Antenna Jack. When the Jack is not in use, keep the
tube mounted.

You can also use an external antenna (not supplied) to help to bring
in weaker signals. Use RG58, 50-Ohm lead with a BNC connector to
connect the antenna to the scanner. Connect and mount the antenna

according to the instructions provided with the antenna.
