Installing the AE355M Scanner
Home Use (Desktop Installation)
1. Insert the DC plug end of the AC Adapter into the DC 13.8V jack on the rear
panel.
2. Plug the AC Adapter into a standard 230V AC wall outlet.
3. Plug the telescopic antenna into the ANT connector. Extend the antenna to its
full height. For frequencies higher than 400 MHz, shortening the antenna may
improve the reception.
Use the desktop stand (fold out from bottom of unit) for a better viewing and
operating angle.
Helpful Hints:
• If strong interference or electrical noise is received, relocate the scanner or its
antenna away from the source.
• If you are operating the scanner in a fringe area or need to improve reception,
use an optional Albrecht scanner base station antenna designed for multi-band
coverage. (You can purchase this type of antenna at our web shop or at a local
electronics store.)
• If the optional antenna has no cable, use 50-70 ohm coaxial cable for lead-in. A
mating plug adapter to BNC standard may be necessary for the optional
antennas.
Mobile Use
(In-Car, Boat, Motor Home or other 12 V Installation)
Temporary Mobile Installation
A Vehicle Power Adapter is provided for an easy, temporary power supply.
Warning: Do not use the Vehicle Power Adapter in a positive ground
vehicle (most new cars do not have such DC power supply systems any
more).
1.
Plug one end of the Vehicle Power Adapter into the vehicle’s accessory power
jack and the other end into the DC 13.8V jack on the back of the scanner.
2. Connect the mobile antenna plug into the ANT connector on the rear panel. For
more information on antenna installation, please refer to the instruction guide
that came with your mobile antenna.
