PREPARATION

CONNECTING THE FLEXIBLE ANTENNA

1.Hold the antenna so it stands straight up.

2.Slip the slots in the antenna’s connector over the tabs on the ANT jack on top of the scanner.

3.Press down and turn the antenna’s base clockwise until it locks into place.

Note: Instead of the supplied flexible antenna, you can connect a mobile or base-station antenna (not supplied) to your scanner. For more information, see “Connecting a Mobile or Base-Station An- tenna” on Page 35.

INSTALLING BATTERIES

You can power your scanner with six AA batteries. For the longest operation and best performance, we recommend alkaline batter- ies, such as Cat. No. 23-552. Or, you can use rechargeable nick- el-cadmium batteries (Cat. No. 23-125).

Note: You can also power your scanner from either standard AC power (using an optional AC adapter) or vehicle battery power (using an optional DC cigarette lighter adapter). See “Connecting Optional Power Sources” on Page 33 for more information.
