PRO-2035 1000-Channel Programmable Home Scanner
(200-0460)                Preparation                  Faxback Doc. # 16909

This scanner is primarily designed for use in the home as a base station. 
You can place it on a desk, shelf, or table.

The scanner's front feet fold up or down.  Adjust them to give you the best
view of the display.

CONNECTING AN ANTENNA

The supplied telescoping antenna helps the scanner receive strong local
signals.  To install the antenna, screw it clockwise into the hole on the
scanner's top.

The scanner's sensitivity depends on the antenna's length and various
environmental conditions.  For the best reception of the transmissions you
want to hear, adjust the antenna's length.

            Frequency             Antenna Length

            25-300 MHz            Extend fully
           300-520 MHz            Extend three segments
           520-760 MHz            Extend two segments
          760-1300 MHz            Collapse all segments

Instead of the supplied antenna, you can connect an outdoor base antenna
(not supplied) to the scanner.  Your local Radio Shack store sells a
variety of antennas.  Choose the one that best meets your needs.

When deciding on an outdoor base antenna and its location, consider the
following:

    The location of the antenna should be as high as possible.

    The antenna and antenna cable should be as far as possible from sources
    of electrical noise (appliances, other radios, and so on).  

    The antenna should be vertical for the best performance.

To connect an optional antenna, always use 50-ohm coaxial cable, such as
RG-58 or RG-8.  For lengths over 50 feet, use RG-8 low-loss dielectric
coaxial cable.  If the coaxial cable's connector does not fit in the ANT
jack, you might also need a PL-259-to-BNC antenna plug adapter, such as
Cat. No. 278-120.  Your local Radio Shack store carries a wide variety of
coaxial antenna cable and connectors.

Follow the mounting instructions supplied with the antenna.  Then route the
antenna cable to the scanner, and connect it to the ANT jack on the back of
the scanner.

CAUTION:  Do not run the cable over sharp edges or moving objects.

WARNING:  Use extreme caution when you install or remove an outdoor
          antenna.  If the antenna starts to fall, let it go!  It could
          contact overhead power lines.  If the antenna touches a power
          line, contact with the antenna, mast, cable, or guy wires can
          cause electrocution and death.  Call the power company to remove
          the antenna.  DO NOT attempt to do so yourself.
