Note that the batteries are intended to provide backup power for the clock
and for scanning for a short time. When the backup batteries becomes
too low, appears and flashes. Promptly replace the batteries.
When you either install batteries or connect the AC Adapter to a standard
US wall outlet, the scanner powers on and goes to STANDBY mode.
The display shows the initial clock time of 12:00 AM. The scanner
remains in STANDBY mode.
Connecting an Antenna
The scanner uses an
external loop antenna to
receive AM broadcast
stations and an external
telescopic antenna to
receive all other signals.
Connect the supplied rod
antenna by pushing the
antenna’s connector onto
the antenna jack on the
back of the scanner and
twisting it to the desired
angle. Connect the two
wires from the loop
antenna to the AM RADIO
ANT terminals on the
back of the scanner.
* Carefully remove the tube inserted before using the
AM Antenna Jack. When the Jack is not in use, keep
the tube mounted.
You can also use an external antenna (not supplied) to help to bring in
weaker signals. Use RG58, 50-Ohm lead with a BNC connector to
connect the antenna to the scanner. Connect and mount the antenna
according to the instructions provided with the antenna.
CAUTION: Be sure to follow all safety warnings provided with the
antenna. Failure to do so could expose you to risk of injury or death and
could severely damage the scanner.
