Setting Up Your Scanner

These guidelines will help you install and use your new scanner:

•If your scanner receives interference or electrical noise, move the scanner or its antenna away from the source. You might also try changing the height or angle of the telescoping antenna.

•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 ohm 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 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 (not supplied).

Using Non-Rechargeable Batteries

1.Make sure the power is turned off.

2.Slide the battery compartment cover.

3.Before you install alkaline or any other non- rechargeable batteries, use a pointed object such as a ballpoint pen to set REG. ALK. BATT./ NI-MH BATT. inside the compartment to REG. ALK. BATT..
