Setting Up The 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 antennas.

•Use an optional mono earphone or mono headset with proper impedance for private listening.

•Do not use the scanner in high-moisture environments such as in the kitchen or bathroom.

•Avoid placing the scanner in direct sunlight or near heating elements or vents.

Connecting Power

• Insert the supplied AC Adapter’s barrel plug into the power jack on the back of the

scanner. Then plug the Adapter into a standard household

outlet that supplies 120V AC, 60Hz. Do not plug the adapter into a switch controlled outlet.

• Open the battery compartment and insert 3 AA batteries. Be sure to note the polarity markings in the battery

compartment. You can use either alkaline or rechargeable batteries, but the scanner will not recharge batteries in the compartment.

•Use only fresh alkaline AA batteries. Rechargeable batteries can be used, but battery life is shorter than with alkaline batteries.

• Always remove old or weak batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that destroy electronic circuits.

• Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable) or rechargeable batteries of different capacities.
