CONNECTING THE ANTENNA

Follow these steps to attach the supplied flexible antenna to the connector
on the top of your scanner.

    1.  Align the slots around the antenna's connector with the tabs on
        the jack.

    2.  Press the antenna down over the jack and rotate the antenna's base
        clockwise until it locks into place.

Connecting an Optional Antenna

The antenna connector on your scanner makes it easy to use the scanner with
a variety of antennas.  Instead of the supplied antenna, you can attach a
different one, such as an external mobile antenna or outdoor base antenna.
Your local Radio Shack store sells a variety of antennas.

Always use 50-Ohm coaxial cable, such as RG-58 or RG-8, to connect an
outdoor antenna.  For lengths over 50 feet, use RG-8 low-loss dielectric
coaxial cable.  If your antenna's cable does not have a BNC connector, you
will also need a BNC adapter (available at your local Radio Shack store.)

WARNING:  Use extreme caution when installing or removing 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.

CONNECTING AN EARPHONE/HEADPHONES

For private listening, you can plug an earphone or mono headphones (such as
Radio Shack Cat. No. 33-175 or 20-210) into the (HEADPHONE) jack on top of
your scanner.  This automatically disconnects the internal speaker.

Listening Safely

To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use an earphone
or headphones: PRO-29 60-Channel Direct Entry Programmable Scanner
(200-0509)

    Do not listen at extremely high volume levels.  Extended high-volume
    listening can lead to permanent hearing loss.

    Set the volume to the lowest setting before you begin listening.  After
    you begin listening, adjust the volume to a comfortable level.

    Once you set the volume, do not increase it.  Over time your ears
    adapt to the volume level, so a volume level that does not cause
    discomfort might still damage your hearing.

Traffic Safety

Do not wear an earphone or headphones while you drive a vehicle or ride a
bicycle.  This can create a traffic hazard and is illegal in some areas.

Even though some earphones and headphones are designed to let you hear some
outside sounds when you listen at normal levels, they still present a
traffic hazard.

CONNECTING AN EXTENSION SPEAKER

In a noisy area, an extension speaker (such as Radio Shack Cat. No. 21-549)
or an amplified speaker (such as Radio Shack Cat. No. 21-541), positioned
in the right place, might provide more comfortable listening.  Plug the
speaker cable's 1/8-inch mini-plug into your scanner's (HEADPHONE) jack.

USING THE BELT CLIP

You can attach the supplied belt clip to make the scanner easier to use
when you are on the go.  Use the two supplied screws to attach the belt
clip to the scanner.  Then slide the belt clip over your belt or waistband.
