FlRST THINGS FIRST
POWERING THE SCANNER
There are basically two ways to power your scanner — by batteries or adapter. However, you
can use different types of batteries and different kinds of adapters, so pay close attention to
the procedures and precautions written below for the method you choose.
BATTERIES
it takes six batteries to operate your scanner. Alkaline batteries otter the best results, but it is
p055lb|e to use nickel-cadmium rechargeable batteries.
To Install batteries:
1. Slide the battery door in the direction of the arrow.
2. insert six AA batteries as shown in the diagram. (Illustration will add)
3. Replace the battery door.
Note: Alkaline batteries are recommended for best results. As they are not rechargeable,
PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT to plug the AC adapter into the CHG lack while alkaline batteries
are in the unit. Doing so may cause serious damage to you or the unit.
It is always a good idea to let nickel-cadmium batteries run all the way down before charging
them. Then when you do charge them, do so to their full potential and they will last longer and
provide more power.
IMPORTANT BATTERY INFORMATION
. Using nickel-cadmium rechargeable batteries may result in shorter playing time. It is always a
good idea to let the nickel-cadmium batteries run all the way down before charging them. Then
when you do charge them, do so to their full potential and they will last longer and provide more
power.
, If you do not intend to use the unit ior a month or more, remove the batteries to avoid leakage
or subsequent damage.
. Dispose of batteries in the proper manner, according to federal, state and local regulations.
. Any battery may leak electrolyte it mixed with a different battery type; if inserted incorrectly: it
all batteries are not replaced at the same time; it disposed of in fire; or ii an attempt is made to
charge a battery not intended to be recharged.
. Discard leaky batteries immediately to avoid possible skin burns or other personal injury.
USING ADAPTERS
This scanner is equipped with two jacks - PWFt and CHG. When an adapter is connected to
the PWH jack and an AC outlet, power from the batteries is disconnected.
When an adapter is connected to the CHG jack, this lack will provide power or the scanner
while recharging the batteries.
WARNlNG: Use the CHG lack only if you have rechargeable nickel-cadmium batteries
installed. DO NOT CONNECT AN AC OR DC ADAPTER TO THE CHG JACK IF YOU HAVE
NON-RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES INSTALLED. If you try to recharge non-rechargeable
batteries, you may cause serious iniury to yourself and/or severely damage the scanner.
AC POWER
To use the AC adapter provided, simply plug the barrel end into the F’WR jack on the side of
your scanner and the pronged module into a standard AC outlet.
Be sure to unplug the adapter from the wall outlet before you remove the barrel plug from the
PWFi jack on the scanenr.
Charging Batteries
Should you choose to use nickel-cadmium batteries, it is possible to recharge them while
inside the scanner.
i . Install nickel-cadmium batteries as instructed above.
2. Plug your AC adapter into the CHG jack.
Your scanner will work off the AC power from the outlet and recharge the batteries at the same
time.
DC ADAPTER
if you plan to operate the scanner in your vehicle, you may choose to power it using a DC
adapter and the socket of the cigarette lighter. Check to make sure the socket is attached to a
12-volt, negative-ground electrical system.
Connect and disconnect with the scanner same as an AC adapter.
WARINING: The adapter you use must supply 9-volts with the center tip set to negative.
It also must fit properly into the PWFt jack and deliver at least 300 milliamperes.
. The adapter’s voltage switch must be set on W.
. Never leave the adapter plugged into the lighter when isn’t atlached to the scanner. Always
disconnect the adapter from the lighter first, then the scanner.
. It the scanner does not properly operate while trying to use a DC adapter, simply unplug the
adapter from the lighter socket and clean the socket.
CONNECTING THE ANTENNA
Your scanner comes with a flexible antenna for better reception. To attach the antenna:
1. Line up the slots on the antenna with the knobs of the antenna receptor on the scanner.
2. Slip the antenna over the knobs and twist until you feel the antenna lock into place.
OPTIONAL ANTENNAS
While the flexible antenna provides satisfactory reception for local signals, you can attach a
multiband outdoor antenna — not provided — for even better reception,
Install the antenna according to its instructions, then connect it to the scanner via the ANT jack.
NOTES: Do not place the cable on top of sharp edges or near moving objects; place it as high
as possible outside; place it as for from any source of electrical noise as possible; and make
sure the antenna is vertical at all times.
Use RGSB or RGS/M for lengths under 50 feet. Use RG-B, low-loss coaxial cable for lengths
more than 50 feet.
PRIVATE LISTENlNG
Your scanner has been equipped with a PHONES jack to allow for private listening. The use of
headphones or an earphone — not included - immediately suspends audio output from the
soanner‘s main speaker.
WARNING: Some headphones/earphones allow you to hear background noise while listening
to your scanner at a normal volume setting. Regardless, wearing headphones or an earphone
while riding a bike or operating a vehicle cannot only impair your concentration, it is also
dangerous and/or illegal.
Do not operate your scanner at high volume.
Hearing experts advise against continuous extended play.
. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce volume or discontinue use.
. You should use extreme caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous
situation.
USING THE BELT CLIP
Your scanner has been equipped with a belt clip to make it more mobile. To use, simply slide
the belt clip over the waistband of your pants/skirt or your belt.
USING THE LIGHT
Your scanner has been equipped with a light to help you see better in dim or dark lit areas.
Press and hold the LIGHT button to activate this feature.
BATTERY SAVER
Your scanner has been equipped with a battery-saving circuit. This feature sends the unit into
