US wall outlet, the scanner powers on and goes to STANDBYmode.

Connecting an Antenna

The scanner uses an

external loop antenna to

receive AM broadcast

stations and an external

telescopic antenna to

receive all other signals.

Connect the supplied rod

antenna by pushing the

antenna’s connector onto

the antenna jack on the

back of the scanner and

twisting it to the desired

angle. Connect the two

wires from the loop

antenna to the AM RADIO

ANT terminals on the

back of the scanner.

* Carefully remove the tube inserted before using the

AM Antenna Jack. When the Jack is not in use, keep

the tube mounted.

You can also use an external antenna (not supplied) to help to bring in

weaker signals. Use RG58, 50-Ohm lead with a BNC connector to

connect the antenna to the scanner. Connect and mount the antenna

according to the instructions provided with the antenna.

CAUTION: Be sure to follow all safety warnings provided with the

antenna. Failure to do so could expose you to risk of injury or death and

could severely damage the scanner.
