using your scanner as a base station

You can place your scanner on a desk, shelf, or table to use it as a base station. Since the speaker is on the bottom of the scanner, you may want to use the mounting bracket to elevate your scanner off the surface for better sound. Follow the mobile vehicle mounting instructions above to afﬁx your scanner to a desk, shelf, table or other ﬂat surface (except that the bracket will be below the scanner).
