Notes:
•If you installed rechargeable nickel-cadmium batteries in the scanner, you can connect the DC cigarette lighter adapter to the CHG jack. Simply remove the rubber cap from the CHG jack, connect the adapter’s barrel plug to the jack, then plug the other end of the adapter into your vehicle’s cigarette lighter socket. This powers the scanner and recharges the batteries at the same time. See “Charging Nickel-Cadmium Batteries” on Page 12.
•If the scanner does not operate properly when you use a DC cigarette lighter adapter, unplug the adapter from the lighter socket and clean the socket to remove ashes and other debris.
CONNECTING A MOBILE OR BASE- STATION ANTENNA
Instead of the supplied flexible antenna, you can connect a mobile or base-station antenna (not supplied) to your scanner. Your local Radio Shack store sells a wide variety of antennas. Choose the one that best meets your needs.
