Setting Up The Scanner 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 antennas. • Use an optional mono earphone or mono headset with proper impedance for private listening. • Do not use the scanner in high-moisture environments such as in the kitchen or bathroom. • Avoid placing the scanner in direct sunlight or near heating elements or vents. Connecting Power • Insert the supplied AC Adapter's barrel plug into the power jack on the back of the scanner. Then plug the Adapter into a standard household outlet that supplies 120V AC, 60Hz. Do not plug the adapter into a switch controlled outlet. • Open the battery compartment and insert 3 AA batteries. Be sure to note the polarity markings in the battery compartment. You can use either alkaline or rechargeable batteries, but the scanner will not recharge batteries in the compartment. • Use only fresh alkaline AA batteries. Rechargeable batteries can be used, but battery life is shorter than with alkaline batteries. • Always remove old or weak batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that destroy electronic circuits. • Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable) or rechargeable batteries of different capacities.
