Warning: Use extreme caution when you install or remove an out- door antenna. If the antenna starts to fall, let it go! It could contact overhead power lines. If the antenna touches a power line, contact with the antenna, mast, cable, or guy wires can cause electrocu- tion and death. Call the power company to remove the antenna. DO NOT attempt to do so yourself.
CONNECTING AN EARPHONE/
HEADPHONES
For private listening, you can plug an optional earphone or mon- aural headphones (such as Cat. No.
not supplied) into the jack on top of your scanner. This auto- matically disconnects the internal speaker. Your local Radio Shack store has a wide selection of earphones.
Note: In a noisy area, monaural headphones might provide more comfortable listening.
Listening Safely
