Setup

Note

Extend the antenna to its full height. For UHF frequencies, shortening the antenna may improve the reception.

If your scanner receives strong interference or electrical noise, move the scanner or its antenna away from the source.

If you are operating the scanner in a fringe area or need to improve reception, use an optional antenna designed for multi-band coverage. (You can purchase this type of antenna at a local electronics store.)

If the plug at the end of the cable does not match the antenna jack, you may need to purchase an adapter.

Plug an optional external speaker (ESP25, 8 ohms) into the EXT.SP jack.

Warning!

Use only the supplied AC Adapter - AC144U
