Cautions:

You must use a power source that sup-

!plies 9V DC and delivers at least 300 mA. Its center tip must be set to positive and

its plug must fit the scanner's PWR DC 9V jack. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifi- cations could damage the scanner or the adapter.

•Always connect the DC adapter to the scanner before you connect it to the power source. When you finish, disconnect the adapter from the power source before you disconnect it from the scanner.

To connect the adapter.

1.Connect the Adaptaplug to the adapter's cord with the tip set to positive.

2.Plug the adapter's barrel plug into the scanner's

PWR DC 9V jack.

3.Plug the adapter's cigarette-lighter plug into your 12V power source.

Note: If the scanner does not operate properly when you connect a DC adapter, unplug the DC adapter from the power source and clean the socket, or check the adapt- er’s internal fuse.

CONNECTING THE ANTENNA

To attach the supplied flexible antenna to the antenna jack on the top of your scanner, align the slots around the antenna's connector with the tabs on the antenna jack. Press the antenna down over the jack and turn 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 scanner with a variety of antennas, such as an external mobile antenna or outdoor base station anten- na. Your local RadioShack store sells a variety of anten- nas.
