Connecting the Antenna Plug Connect the mobile antenna plug (optional) into the ANT connector on the rear panel. (For more information on antenna installation, please refer to the instruction guide that came with your antenna.) Connecting the Power Cord Note: If you are not experienced in connecting accessories to the vehicle fuse box, please see your automotive dealer for advice on proper installation. Installation for everyday use: 1. Check the vehicle battery connections to determine which battery terminal (positive or negative) is grounded to the engine block or chassis. Most of today's vehicles use a negative ground. If your vehicle has a negative ground, follow Steps 2 and 3. Otherwise, skip to the note following Step 3. 2. Connect the RED wire of the DC power cord to the accessory contact in your vehicle's +13.8 VDC fuse box. 3. Connect the BLACK wire of the DC power cord to the negative side of the vehicle (usually the chassis). Note: In vehicles with a positive ground, the RED wire connects to the chassis and the BLACK wire connects to the accessory contact in the fuse box. 4. Insert the DC plug into the DC 13.8V jack on the back of the scanner. Installation for Temporary Use: A Cigarette Lighter Power Cord is provided for easy, temporary installation. Warning: Do not use the cigarette lighter power cord in a positive ground vehicle. Plug one end of the Cigarette Lighter Power Cord into the cigarette lighter jack and the other end into the DC 13.8V jack on the back of the scanner. 6
