Insert the connector of the supplied indoor telescoping antenna to the BNC Antenna Connector and apply moderate pressure to secure it. Setting Up an Audio Recording Device or Computer Recording It is best if you plan ahead when you initiate the basic setup of the scanner if you include the components to record incoming reception. You need only an audio recording device which can be controlled by a Voice Operated module (VOX) either externally or from within the unit and the correct connecting cable. The REC jack on the rear apron provides a constant-level audio output which is not affected by the setting of the volume control. Use a mono or stereo cable that ends in a 3.5mm plug for the scanner. The recorder might have its own requirements as to the proper plug. Check the recorder's instructions to be sure. Connect the cable to an external or internal VOX control so that the recorder activates when audio is present. You can also connect the cable to the appropriate input jack on your PC so that with controlling software, you can record to your hard disc. In order for the function to operate, you must set the channel to record. You must also set the system's record option to either All Channel, which will record all channels regardless of any channel's setting, or Marked Channel which only lets recording occur if you have selected record for that channel. Which you choose will depend on various factors. Vehicle Installation You can mount your scanner in your vehicle, using either the supplied bracket or the supplied DIN-E sleeve. Mounting Using the Bracket With the bracket removed from the radio, use the holes in the bracket as a template to initially mark the location you plan to use in your vehicle. Be absolutely certain of what might be behind the mounting surface before making any holes, be it above, or below, or in front of your dash, armrest console, or other location. If you drill carelessly, expensive damage can result. If in doubt, consult your vehicle dealer's service department or a qualified professional installer. Setting Up Your Scanner 33

Setting Up Your Scanner
Insert the connector of the supplied indoor telescoping antenna to the
BNC
Antenna Connector
and apply moderate pressure to secure it.
Setting Up an Audio Recording Device or Computer
Recording
It is best if you plan ahead when you initiate the basic setup of the scanner if you
include the components to record incoming reception. You need only an audio
recording device which can be controlled by a Voice Operated module (VOX)
either externally or from within the unit and the correct connecting cable.
The
REC
jack on the rear apron provides a constant-level audio output which is
not affected by the setting of the volume control. Use a mono or stereo cable that
ends in a 3.5mm plug for the scanner. The recorder might have its own
requirements as to the proper plug. Check the recorder’s instructions to be sure.
Connect the cable to an external or internal VOX control so that the recorder
activates when audio is present.
You can also connect the cable to the appropriate input jack on your PC so that
with controlling software, you can record to your hard disc.
In order for the function to operate, you must set the channel to record. You must
also set the system’s record option to either
All Channel
, which will record all
channels regardless of any channel’s setting, or
Marked Channel
which only lets
recording occur if you have selected record for that channel. Which you choose
will depend on various factors.
Vehicle Installation
You can mount your scanner in your vehicle, using either the supplied bracket or
the supplied DIN-E sleeve.
Mounting Using the Bracket
With the bracket removed from the radio, use the holes in the bracket as a
template to initially mark the location you plan to use in your vehicle. Be absolutely
certain of what might be behind the mounting surface before making any holes, be
it above, or below, or in front of your dash, armrest console, or other location. If you
drill carelessly, expensive damage can result. If in doubt, consult your vehicle
dealer’s service department or a qualified professional installer.
