For the best performance, consider
the following when deciding on an
outdoor base antenna and its loca-
tion:
• The location of the external
antenna should be as high as
possible.
• The external antenna and
antenna cable should be as far
away as possible from sources
of electrical noise (appliances,
other radios, and so on).
• The external antenna should be
vertical.
Mount the antenna following the in-
structions supplied with the antenna
and its mounting hardware, then fol-
low these steps to connect an exter-
nal antenna.
1. Route the antenna cable to the
scanner and connect it to the
ANT jack on the back of the
scanner.
Caution: Do not route the cable
over sharp edges or moving
objects.
2. Remove the supplied antenna
from the top of the scanner.
RESETTING THE
SCANNER’S DISPLAY
If the scanner’s display locks up after
you connect a power source, follow
these steps to reset it.
1. If the scanner is off, press
POWER to turn it on.
2. Using a pointed object, such as
a straightened paper clip, press
RESET on the back of the scan-
ner. The display resets, and the
scanner turns off.
3. Press POWER to turn on the
scanner again.
