Connecting the Antenna

To connect an external antenna, always follow the installation instructions supplied with the antenna. Use 50-ohm, RG-58, or RG-8, coaxial cable. If the antenna is over 50 feet from the scanner, use RG-8 low-loss dielectric coaxial cable. If necessary, RadioShack carries a variety of adapters.

To attach the supplied antenna:

1.Align the antenna slots with the tabs on the scanner, and slide the antenna into place.

2.Turn while pushing down until the antenna locks into place.

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.

Attaching the Belt Clip

To carry your scanner, slide the supplied belt clip down on the back of the scanner. To remove the belt clip, pull the tab out and slide the clip upward.
