INITIALIZING THE

If the scanner or its display does not work properly even after resetting it, follow these steps to initialize the scanner.

1.If the scanner is off, press POWER to turn it on.

2.Press and hold ./CLEAR, then press RESET on the back of the scanner using a pointed object, such as a straightened paper clip. The display resets, and the scanner turns off.

3.Press POWER to turn on the scanner.

CONNECTING AN EARPHONE/ HEADPHONES/ EXTERNAL SPEAKER

The 1/8-inch EXT SP jack on the back of the scanner lets you connect an earphone, headphones, or an exter- nal speaker.

•For private listening, connect an earphone (Cat. No. 33-175).

•For more comfortable private lis- tening, connect monaural head- phones (Cat. No. 20-210).

•For listening from a remote area or in a noisy area, connect an extension speaker (Cat. No. 21- 549).

Note: Connecting any external de- vice to the EXT SP jack automatically disconnects the internal speaker.
