Follow these steps to attach the supplied flexible antenna to the connec- tor on the top of your scanner.
1.Align the slots around the antenna’s connector with the tabs on the jack.
2.Press the antenna down over the jack and rotate the antenna’s base clockwise until it locks into place.
Connecting an Optional Antenna
The antenna connector on your scanner makes it easy to use the scan- ner with a variety of antennas. Instead of the supplied antenna, you can attach a different one, such as an external mobile antenna or outdoor base antenna. Your local RadioShack store sells a variety of antennas.
Always use
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, contact with the anten- na, 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.
