Warning: Use extreme caution when you install or remove an out-
door antenna. If the antenna starts to fall, let it go! It could contact
overhead power lines. If the antenna touches a power line, contact
with the antenna, mast, cable, or guy wires can cause electrocu-
tion and death. Call the power company to remove the antenna.
DO NOT attempt to do so yourself.
CONNECTING AN EARPHONE/
HEADPHONES
For private listening, you can plug an optional earphone or mon-
aural headphones (such as Cat. No. 33-175 or Cat. No. 20-210,
not supplied) into the jack on top of your scanner. This auto-
matically disconnects the internal speaker. Your local Radio
Shack store has a wide selection of earphones.
Note: In a noisy area, monaural headphones might provide more
comfortable listening.
Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use an
earphone or headphones.
• Set the volume to the lowest setting before you begin listen-
ing. After you begin listening, adjust the volume to a comfort-
able level.
