Setting Up The Scanner
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.
