Removing the Display Sticker Before you use the scanner for the first time, remove the protective plastic film over the display. 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, BNC terminated coaxial cable to connect an outdoor antenna. If the antenna is over 50 feet from the scanner, use RG-8 low-loss dielectric coaxial cable. Cable loss increases with higher frequency. Connecting an Earphone/Headphone For private listening, you can plug a 1/8-inch (3.5 mm) mini-plug earphone or headphones (not supplied) into the headphone jack on the front of your scanner. This automatically disconnects the internal speaker. See the Earphone Warning on page 2 for important information about using an earphone/headphone. WARNING! Never connect anything other than the recommended amplified extension speaker to the scanner's headphone jack. Damage to the scanner might occur. Connecting an Extension Speaker In a noisy area, an optional amplified extension speaker, positioned in the right place, might provide more comfortable listening. Plug the speaker cable's 1/8-inch (3.5-mm) mini-plug into your scanner's back panel Ext. Sp. Jack. WARNING! Never connect any part of the headphone jack to the antenna jack or connect the radio to an installation where the antenna and audio connection are grounded. This might also damage the scanner. 24

Removing the Display Sticker
Before you use the scanner for the first time, remove the protective plastic film
over the display.
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, BNC terminated coaxial cable to
connect an outdoor antenna. If the antenna is over 50 feet from the scanner,
use RG-8 low-loss dielectric coaxial cable. Cable loss increases with higher
frequency.
Connecting an Earphone/Headphone
For private listening, you can plug a 1/8-inch (3.5 mm) mini-plug earphone
or headphones (not supplied) into the headphone jack on the front of your
scanner. This automatically disconnects the internal speaker. See the
Earphone Warning on page 2 for important information about using an
earphone/headphone.
WARNING!
Never connect anything other than the recommended amplified
extension speaker to the scanner’s headphone jack. Damage to the
scanner might occur.
Connecting an Extension Speaker
In a noisy area, an optional amplified extension speaker, positioned in the
right place, might provide more comfortable listening. Plug the speaker cable’s
1/8-inch (3.5-mm) mini-plug into your scanner’s back panel Ext. Sp. Jack.
WARNING!
Never connect any part of the headphone jack to the antenna jack
or connect the radio to an installation where the antenna and audio
connection are grounded. This might also damage the scanner.
