For the best performance, consider the following when deciding on an outdoor base antenna and its loca- tion:
•The location of the external antenna should be as high as possible.
•The external antenna and antenna cable should be as far away as possible from sources of electrical noise (appliances, other radios, and so on).
•The external antenna should be vertical.
Mount the antenna following the in- structions supplied with the antenna and its mounting hardware, then fol- low these steps to connect an exter- nal antenna.
1.Route the antenna cable to the scanner and connect it to the ANT jack on the back of the scanner.

3. Press POWER to turn on the scanner again.
Caution: Do not route the cable over sharp edges or moving objects.
