The supplied mounting bracket can serve as a desktop

stand when it is installed beneath the radio. You may

also use the mounting bracket indoors to attach the

radio underneath a table or shelf by installing the

mounting bracket above the radio.

Attach the three self-adhesive rubber feet to the

bottom of the mounting bracket in the spaces provided.

The rubber feet help prevent sliding on smooth

surfaces, and will help prevent scratching of your desk

or tabletop. Do not use the rubber feet if you plan to

attach the mounting bracket to a fixed surface with

screws.

Attach the two self-adhesive rubber washers to the

inside of the mounting bracket sides, over the holes

that are used when attaching the bracket to the

scanner’s side holes. Be sure to align the holes in the

washer carefully with the holes in the mounting bracket.

The rubber washers help protect the scanner’s case

from scratches.

Slide the scanner carefully into the mounting bracket

assembly, and use the two provided knurled knobs to

secure the scanner within the mounting bracket.

Connect the supplied AC power supply to your wall

outlet. Connect the coaxial power plug to the radio.

NOTE: Plug the adapter into an easily accessible power

outlet location near the equipment.

WARNING: The correct orientation for the adapter is

in a vertical or floor mount position. 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.

Connect the supplied telescoping antenna to the base

unit’s antenna jack. For best reception, adjust the

antenna’s length as follows:

Frequency Antenna Length

25-54 MHz Extend fully

108-174 MHz Extend 4 segments

216-225 MHz Extend 3 segments

225-406 MHz Extend 2 segments

406-1300 MHz Collapse Fully
