Setting Up Your Scanner
Before you use rechargeable batteries for the first time,
charge them for 14 hours to bring them to a full charge.
Discharged batteries take about 14 hours to fully
recharge.
Using AC Power
You can power the scanner using the supplied 6V, 500
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
ALKALINE/RECHARGEABLE is set to RECHARGE-
ABLE, 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, align the slots around the
antenna's connector with the tabs on the scanner's BNC
connector. Then slide the antenna's connector down over
the scanner's connector and rotate the antenna connec-
tor's outer ring clockwise until it locks into place.
Connecting an Optional Antenna
The scanner's BNC 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 coax-
ial cable. You can get a BNC adapter at your local elec-
tronics store.
