step 1: installing your scanner

You can mount your scanner as a base station or in your vehicle. If you are unsure how to install your scanner in your vehicle, consult your automobile manufacturer, dealer, or a qualiﬁed installer.

base station

Attach the four protective rubber feet to the mounting bracket when you use the scanner as a base station on a ﬂat surface such as a desk, shelf, or table. Because the speaker is on the bottom of the scanner, you can use the mounting bracket to elevate your scanner off the surface for better sound.

vehicle mounting

To mount your scanner under or over the dashboard, use the mounting bracket. Before installing, conﬁrm that your scanner ﬁts in the desired mounting area and you have all the necessary materials to complete the task.

IMPORTANT: AVOID AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT ZONES. This can prevent the airbag from performing properly and result in injury.

1. Use the supplied mounting bracket as a template to mark positions for the two mounting screws.

2. At the marked positions, drill holes slightly smaller than the screws. When drilling holes, be sure to avoid obstructions and wires behind the mounting surface.

3. Attach the mounting bracket to the surface using the supplied screws.

4. Slide the scanner into the bracket, aligning the scanner’s holes

with the holes in the bracket, and then screw the mounting knobs into the scanner.
