Traffic Safety

Do not wear an earphone or headphones while you drive a vehicle or ride a bicycle. This can create a traffic haz- ard and can be illegal in some areas. Even though some earphones and headphones let you hear some outside sounds when you listen at normal levels, they still can present a traffic hazard.

Connecting an Extension Speaker

In a noisy area, an amplified speaker (not supplied), available at your local RadioShack store, might provide more comfortable listening. Plug the speaker cable's 1/8-

inch (3.5 mm) mini-plug into your scanner's jack.

Note: You must use an amplified speaker with this scan- ner. Non-amplified speakers do not provide sufficient volume for comfortable listening.

Using the Belt Clip

You can use the belt clip attached to the back of the scanner for hands-free carrying when you are on the go. Slide the belt clip over your belt or waistband.

Transferring Data to and from Another Scanner or a PC

You can transfer the programmed data to and from an- other PRO-93 or a PRO-2053 using a connecting cable which has 1/8-inch phone plugs on both ends (not sup- plied). Connect the cable between each scanner's PC/IF jacks. See “Cloning the Programmed Data” on Page 49. You can also upload or download the programmed data to or from a PC using an optional PC interface kit avail- able through your local RadioShack store.
