These guidelines will help you install and use your 
new scanner: 
•

If your scanner receives interference or electrical 
noise, move the scanner or its antenna away 
from the source. You might also try changing the 
height or angle of the telescoping antenna. 

•

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 50-70 ohm 
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 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. 

You can power your scanner using two alkaline or 
rechargeable AA batteries (not supplied).

1. Make sure the power is turned off.
2. Slide the battery compartment cover.
3. Before you install alkaline or any other non-

rechargeable batteries, use a pointed object 
such as a ballpoint pen to set REG. ALK. BATT./
NI-MH BATT. inside the compartment to REG. 
ALK. BATT..
