Connecting Cables

There are three cables that you can connect to the BC- RH96.

Remote Head and Scanner Power

To provide power to the Remote Head, insert the barrel of the cigarette lighter adapter into the jack in the back of the unit marked DC IN 13.8V. Insert the other end in a convenient socket on the dash of your vehicle.
