Preparation
Cautions:
You must use a power source that sup-
plies 9V DC and delivers at least 300 mA.
Its center tip must be set to positive and
its plug must fit the scanner's
PWR DC 9V
jack.
Using an adapter that does not meet these specifi-
cations could damage the scanner or the adapter.
• Always connect the DC adapter to the scanner
before you connect it to the power source. When
you finish, disconnect the adapter from the power
source before you disconnect it from the scanner.
To connect the adapter.
1. Connect the Adaptaplug to the adapter's cord with
the tip set to positive.
2. Plug the adapter's barrel plug into the scanner's
PWR DC 9V
jack.
3. Plug the adapter's cigarette-lighter plug into your
12V power source.
Note:
If the scanner does not operate properly when you
connect a DC adapter, unplug the DC adapter from the
power source and clean the socket, or check the adapt-
er’s internal fuse.
CONNECTING THE ANTENNA
To attach the supplied flexible antenna to the antenna
jack on the top of your scanner, align the slots around
the antenna's connector with the tabs on the antenna
jack. Press the antenna down over the jack and turn the
antenna's base clockwise until it locks into place.
Connecting an Optional Antenna
The antenna connector on your scanner makes it easy
to use the scanner with a variety of antennas, such as an
external mobile antenna or outdoor base station anten-
na. Your local RadioShack store sells a variety of anten-
nas.
