To attach the supplied flexible antenna to the antenna jack on the top of your scanner, align the slots around the antenna’s connector with the tabs on the antenna jack. Press the antenna down over the jack and turn the antenna’s base clockwise until it locks into place.

The antenna connector on your scanner makes it easy to use the scanner with a variety of antennas, such as an external mobile antenna or outdoor base station

Always use
Follow the installation instructions supplied with the antenna, route the antenna cable to the scanner, then connect it to the antenna jack.
Warning! Use extreme caution when installing or removing an outdoor antenna. If the antenna starts to fall, let it go!
It could contact overhead power lines. If the antenna touches a power line, touching the antenna, mast, cable, or guy wires can cause electrocution and death. Call the power company to remove the antenna. DO NOT attempt to do so yourself.
