You can power the scanner from a vehicle’s 12V power source (such as a cigarette-lighter socket) using a 12V, 300 mA DC adapter and a size D Adaptaplug™ adapter (neither supplied).

Both are available at your local RadioShack store. .

To power the scanner using a DC adapter, attach the Adaptaplug to the DC adapter so the tip reads positive (+) and set the adapter's voltage switch to 12V. Next, insert the Adaptaplug into the scanner's DC 12V jack. Plug the other end of the DC adapter into your vehicle's cigarette-lighter socket. ±

You must install an antenna before you can operate the scanner.

The supplied telescoping antenna helps your scanner receive strong local signals. To install the antenna, thread it clockwise into the hole on top of the scanner.

The scanner's sensitivity depends on its location and the antenna's length. For the best reception of the transmissions you want to hear, adjust the antenna's length according to the chart below.
