Setting Up The Scanner
Note that the batteries are intended to provide backup power for the clock and
for scanning for a short time. When the backup batteries becomes too low,
appears. Promptly replace the batteries.
When you either install batteries or connect the AC Adapter to a standard
Australia/New Zealand wall outlet, the scanner powers on and goes to
STANDBY
mode. The display shows the initial clock time of 12:00 AM. The
scanner remains in
STANDBY
mode.
Connecting an
Antenna
The scanner uses an external
loop antenna to receive AM
broadcast stations and an
external telescopic antenna
to receive all other signals.
Connect the supplied rod
antenna by pushing the
antenna’s connector onto the
antenna jack on the back of
the scanner and twisting it to the desired angle. Connect the two wires from the
loop antenna to the
AM RADIO ANT
terminals on the back of the scanner.
* Carefully remove the tube inserted before using the AM
Antenna Jack. When the Jack is not in use, keep the tube
mounted.
You can also use an external antenna (not supplied) to help to bring in weaker
signals. Use RG58, 50-Ohm lead with a BNC connector to connect the antenna
to the scanner. Connect and mount the antenna according to the instructions
provided with the antenna.
