Removing the Display Sticker

Before you use the scanner, use your thumb and forefinger to remove the protective plastic sticker over the display.

Using AC Power

You can power the scanner using the supplied 6V, 800 mA AC adapter.

To use the scanner on AC power, plug the AC adapter into a standard AC outlet.

If rechargeable batteries are installed and REG. ALK. BATT./NI-MH. BATT. is set to NI-MH. BATT., the adapter powers the scanner and recharges the installed batteries at the same time.

Connecting the Antenna

To attach the supplied flexible antenna to the connector on the top of your scanner, simply screw it onto the scanner's SMA connector.

Connecting an Optional Antenna

The scanner's SMA connector makes it easy to connect a variety of optional antennas, including an external mobile antenna or outdoor base station antenna.

Note: Always use 50-ohm, RG-58, or RG-8, coaxial cable to connect an outdoor antenna. If the antenna is over 50 feet from the scanner, use RG-8 low-loss dielectric coaxial cable. You can get an SMA adapter at your local electronics store.
