PREPARATION
CONNECTING AN
ANTENNA
You must install an antenna before
you can operate the scanner. Your lo-
cal RadioShack store sells a variety of
scanner antennas for both mobile and
base-station use. Choose the one that
best meets your needs.
When deciding on a mobile or base-
station antenna and its location, con-
sider these points.
The antenna should be as high as
possible on a vehicle or a house.
The antenna and its cable should
be as far as possible from sources
of electrical noise (ignition sys-
tems, gauges, and so on).
The antenna should be vertical for
the best performance.
MOUNTING AN
ANTENNA
Once you choose an antenna, follow
the mounting instructions supplied
with the antenna. Then route the an-
tenna cable to the scanner.
The antenna connector on your scan-
ner makes it easy to use the scanner
with a variety of antennas, such as an
external mobile antenna or outdoor
base station antenna.
Always use 50-ohm coaxial cable,
such as RG-58 or RG-8, to connect an
outdoor antenna. For lengths over 50
feet, use RG-8 low-loss dielectric co-
axial cable. If your antenna’s cable
does not have a BNC connector, you
will also need a BNC adapter (avail-
able at your local RadioShack store).
Follow the installation instructions
supplied with the antenna, route the
antenna cable to the scanner, then
connect it to the
ANT
jack.
Warning:
Use extreme caution
when you install or remove an out-
door antenna. If the antenna starts to
fall, let it go! It could contact over-
head power lines. If the antenna
touches a power line, contact with
the antenna, mast, cable, or guy
wires can cause electrocution and
death. Call the power company to re-
move the antenna. DO NOT attempt
to do so yourself.
MOUNTING THE
SCANNER IN YOUR
VEHICLE
Before you mount the scanner, make
sure you have all the necessary mate-
rials. Then confirm that the scanner
fits your vehicle’s mounting area. This
scanner is a DIN-E size unit that re-
