User Manual

These guidelines will help you install and set up your new scanner:
The scanner can be placed on a convenient surface in your home
as a base station, and connected to a standard outlet that supplies
120VAC, 60Hz. You must use either the supplied antenna or an
electrically correct outdoor antenna, properly and safely mounted at
your chosen site.
The scanner is also designed to accommodate either DIN-E and
ISO-DIN automotive mounting configurations using a DIN-E sleeve
and keys, (Part Number DIN-0001, BCD996XT: Included; BCT15X:
Optional).
The unit can also be placed above, beneath, or in the dash of your
vehicle using the supplied bracket and mounting hardware.
 If your scanner receives interference or electrical noise, move
the scanner or its antenna away from the source.
 To improve the scanner’s reception, use an optional external
antenna designed for multi-band coverage. (You can purchase
this type of antenna at a local electronics store). If the optional
antenna has no cable, use 50Ω coaxial cable for lead-in. A
mating plug might be necessary for the optional antennas.
 Use an optional stereo earphone or sterreo headset with
proper impedance (32 Ω) for private listening. Read the
precautions at General Precautions.
 Do not use the scanner in high-moisture environments such as
the kitchen or bathroom.
 Avoid placing the scanner in direct sunlight or near heating
elements or vents.
