CAUTION

Do not run the cable over sharp edges or moving parts that might damage it.

Do not run the cable next to power cables or other antenna cables.

The antenna and its cable should be as far as possible from sources of electrical noise, such as appliances or other radios.

The antenna should be vertical for the best performance.

Always use 50 Ohm coaxial cable, such as RG-58 or RG-8, to connect the base-station or mobile antenna. For lengths over 50 feet, use RG-8 low-loss dielectric coaxial cable. If the antenna cable’s connector does not fit in the scanner’s antenna jack, you might also need a PL-259-to-BNC antenna plug adapter. Your local RadioShack store carries a wide variety of coaxial antenna cable and connectors.

Once you choose an antenna, follow the mounting instructions supplied with the antenna, after removing a supplied antenna. Then route the antenna’s cable to the scanner and connect the cable to the scanner’s antenna jack.

CONNECTING AN

EARPHONE/HEADPHONES

For private listening, you can connect an earphone or headphones with a 1/8-inch (3.5

mm)plug to the * jack on the top of the scanner. (Your local RadioShack store carries a wide selection of earphones and headphones). Connecting an earphone or headphones automatically disconnects the internal speaker.
