Setting Up Your Scanner
These guidelines will help you install and set up your new scanner:
The UBCD996T can be placed on a convenient surface in your home as a base
station, and connected to a standard outlet that supplies 240VAC, 50Hz. You must
use either the supplied antenna or an electrically correct outdoor antenna, properly
and safely mounted at your chosen site.
The scanner is also designed to accommodate the DIN-E and ISO-DIN automotive
mounting configurations. A DIN-E sleeve is supplied.
The unit can also be placed above or beneath the dash of your vehicle using the
supplied bracket and mounting hardware.
If your scanner receives interference or electrical noise, move the scanner or its
antenna away from the source.
To improve the scanner’s reception, use an optional external antenna designed
for multi-band coverage. (You can purchase this type of antenna at a local
electronics store). If the optional antenna has no cable, use 50-75 coaxial
cable for lead-in. A mating plug might be necessary for the optional antennas.
Use an optional mono earphone or mono headset with proper impedance (32 )
for private listening. Read the precautions on the inside front cover of this Owners
Manual.
Do not use the scanner in high-moisture environments such as the kitchen or
bathroom.
Avoid placing the scanner in direct sunlight or near heating elements or vents.
This is the simplest approach to let you get started quickly. Decide on a location that
is convenient to a nearby wall outlet, has desk space to let you complete your
programming worksheets, will safely allow the indoor antenna to be extended, or
near a window to use an outdoor antenna.
