Installation

The BCT-10 uses a highly sensitive antenna to receive radio signals. Its sensitivity and range depend on the method of installation and the direction of the antenna in relation to the signal source. Before you decide where to put your scanner, please keep in mind one important factor:

For safety, do not mount the BCT-10 in a location where it will obstruct your driving vision.

Helpful Tips

The antenna is located on the side of the unit. It should not be obstructed and should be pointed as close to straight up or down for best operation.

∙Do not mount the unit in front of the heater or defroster vents.

∙Do not leave the unit in direct sunlight or in the glove compartment of a closed car for long periods of time, as extreme changes in temperature may cause internal damage. Also, removing the unit from the windshield makes you less susceptible to break-in and theft.

∙Be sure the BCT-10 is mounted free of obstructions from the rear view mirror, sun visors, or the ceiling of the automobile.
