The Basics

When deciding on an antenna and its location, consider the

following:

• The location of the antenna should be as high as possible.

• The antenna and antenna cable should be as far as

possible from sources of electrical noise (appliances,

other radios, and so on).

• The antenna should be vertical for the best performance.

Use extreme caution when installing or removing an

outdoor antenna. If the antenna starts to fall, let it go!

It could contact overhead power lines. If the antenna

touches a power line, touching the antenna, mast, cable,

or guy wires can cause electrocution and death. Call the

power company to remove the antenna. Do not attempt

to do so yourself.

connecting an external speaker

If you mount the scanner in your

dashboard or if you use it in a

noisy area, you may want to add

an external speaker (available at

your local RadioShack store) to

improve your ability to hear. Plug

the speaker cable’s 1/8 inch (3.5

mm) plug into your scanner’s

EXT SP jack.

Connecting an external speaker disconnects the

scanner’s internal speaker.
