Setting Up Your Scanner
These guidelines will help you install and set up your new
scanner:
• If your scanner receives interference or electrical
noise, move the scanner or its antenna away from the
source.
• To improve the scanner’s reception, use an optional
external antenna designed for multi-band coverage.
(You can purchase this type of antenna at a local
electronics store). If the optional antenna has no
cable, use 50-70
Ω coaxial cable for lead-in.
A mating plug might be necessary for the optional
antennas.
• Use an optional mono earphone or mono headset
with proper impedance (32 Ω) for private listening.
Read the precautions on the inside front cover of this
Owners Manual.
• Do not use the scanner in high-moisture
environments such as the kitchen or bathroom.
• Avoid placing the scanner in direct sunlight or near
heating elements or vents.
Using Internal Batteries
You can power your scanner using two alkaline, or
rechargeable AA batteries.
