CONNECTING AN

ANTENNA

Connecting a Supplied Antenna

You must install an antenna before you can operate the scanner.

The supplied stub antenna helps your scanner receive most strong transmissions at events and makes the scanner easier to carry and use. The supplied flexible antenna provides slightly better reception and helps your scanner receive strong local signals.

1.Align the slots around the antenna’s connector with the tabs on the antenna jack.

2.Press the antenna down over the jack and turn the antenna’s base clockwise until it locks into place.

Connecting an Outdoor Antenna

Instead of a supplied antenna, you can connect an outdoor basestation or mobile antenna (not supplied) to your scanner using a BNC connector. Your local RadioShack store sells a variety of antennas. Choose the one that best meets your needs.o

When deciding on a mobile or base-station antenna and its location, consider these points.

•The antenna should be as high as possible on the vehicle or building.

oWARNING o

Use extreme caution when you install or remove 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 antenna, 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.
