Consult a qualified installer if in doubt.
using your scanner as a base station
You can place your scanner on a desk, shelf, or table to use it as a base station. Since the
speaker is on the bottom of the scanner, you may want to use the mounting bracket to
elevate your scanner off the surface for better sound. Follow the mobile vehicle mounting
instructions above to affix your scanner to a desk, shelf, table or other flat surface (except
that the bracket will be below the scanner).
power your scanner
You can power your scanner from a wall outlet, through your vehicle’s ignition, or from your
vehicle’s cigarette lighter.

1. Connect the tip of the supplied AC adapter to the DC 13.8V jack at the rear of your
scanner.
2. Plug the AC adapter into your wall outlet.
Note: You must use a Class 2 power source that supplies 13.8V DC and delivers at least
600mA. Its center tip must be set to positive and its plug must fit the scanner’s DC 13.8V
jack. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage the scanner or
the adapter.
Warning!
To prevent electric shock, do not use the AC adapter’s polarized plug with an extension cord,
receptacle, or other outlet unless you can fully insert the blades to prevent blade exposure.
