SETTING UP THE SCANNER
Connect the Antenna
1. Align the slots around the antenna’s connector with the
tabs on the scanner’s BnC connector.
2. Slide the antenna’s connector down over the scanner’s
connector.
3. rotate the antenna connector’s outer ring clockwise
until it locks into place.
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-ohm, RG-58, or RG-8, 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. If it is
less than 50 feet, use RG-58. You can get a BNC adapter at local
electronics stores.
