search for a wide variety of

transmissions.

FCC NOTICE

Your scanner might cause TV or

radio interference even when it is

operating properly. To determine

whether your scanner is causing

the interference, turn off your

scanner. If the interference goes

away, your scanner is causing it.

Try to eliminate the interference

by:

• moving your scanner away

from the receiver

• connectingyourscannertoan

outlet that is on a different

electrical circuit from the

receiver

• contacting your local

RadioShack store for help

If you cannot eliminate the

interference,theFCCrequiresthat

you stop using your scanner.

This device complies with Part 15

of the FCC Rules. Operation is

subject to the following conditions:

(1) This device must not cause

harmful interference, and (2) this

device must accept any

interference received, including

interference that may cause

undesired operation. Ô

SCANNING

LEGALLY

Your scanner covers frequencies

used by many different groups

ÔNOTE Ô

Mobile use of this

scanner is unlawful or

requires a permit in

some areas. Check the

laws in your area.

Scanning Legally

including police and fire

departments, ambulance services,

government agencies, private

companies, amateur radio

services, military operations,

pager services, and wireline

(telephone and telegraph) service

providers. It is legal to listen to

almost every transmission your

scanner can receive. However,

there are some transmissions you

should never intentionally listen to.

These include:

• telephone conversations

(cellular, cordless, or other

private means of telephone

signal transmission)

• pager transmissions

• any scrambled or encrypted

transmissions

According to the Electronic

Communications Privacy Act

(ECPA), you are subject to fines

and possible imprisonment for

intentionally listening to, using, or

divulging the contents of such a

transmission unless you have the

consent of a party to the

communication (unless such

activity is otherwise illegal).

This scanner has been designed

to prevent reception of illegal

transmissions. This is done to

comply with the legal requirement

that scanners be manufactured so

as to not be easily modifiable to

pick up those transmissions. Do

not open your scanner’s case to

make any modifications that could

allow it to pick up transmissions

that it is not legal to listen to. Doing

Preparation

so could subject you to legal

penalties.

We encourage responsible, legal

scanner use.

PREPARATION

INSTALLING BATTERIES

You can power your scanner

with four AA batteries (not sup-

plied). Ô

You can use either the black non-

rechargeable battery holder or the

yellow rechargeable battery holder

(both supplied) to hold the

batteries. If you use the yellow

battery holder, we recommend

nickel-cadmium or nickel-metal

hydride batteries (not supplied).o

1. Press down on the battery

compartment cover then slide

the cover in the direction of

the arrow to remove it.

2. If you are using non-

rechargeable batteries, place

them into the black holder, as

indicated by the polarity

symbols (+ and –) marked on

the holder. Or, if you are using

rechargeable batteries, place

them into the yellow holder as

indicated by the polarity

symbols (+ and –) marked on

the holder.

3. Place the battery holder into

the battery compartment. 

4. Replace the cover.

ÔNOTES Ô

• Dispose of old

batteries promptly

and properly.

• Do not burn or bury

batteries.

• Use only fresh

batteries of the

required size and

recommended

type.

• Do not mix old and

new batteries,

different types of

batteries(standard,

alkaline, or

rechargeable), or

rechargeable

batteries of

different capacities.

• If you do not plan

to use the scanner

for a month or

more, remove the

batteries. Batteries

can leak chemicals

that can destroy

electronic parts.

oWARNING o

Never install non-

rechargeablebatteriesin

the yellow rechargeable

battery holder. Non-

rechargeable batteries

can get hot or explode if

you try to recharge

them.

CAUTION 

The battery holder fits

only one way inside the

battery compartment.

Do not force it.

Preparation

When flashes on the display

and the scanner beeps, or if the

scanner stops operating properly,

replace the batteries.

USING AC POWER

You can power the scanner using

a 9V, 300-mA AC adapter and a

size B Adaptaplugadapter

(neither supplied). Both are

available at your local RadioShack

store.

Cautions:

•You must use a

Class 2 power

source that supplies

9V DC and delivers at least

300 mA. Its center tip must be

settopositiveanditsplug

must fit the scanner's PWR

DC 9V jack. Using an adapter

that does not meet these

specifications could damage

the scanner or the adapter.

• Always connect the AC

adapter to the scanner before

you connect it to AC power.

When you finish, disconnect

the adapter from AC power

before you disconnect it from

the scanner.

To power the scanner using an AC

adapter, attach the Adaptaplug to

the AC adapter so the tip reads

positive (+), then insert the

Adaptaplug into the scanner’s

PWRDC9Vjack. Connect the

other end of the adapter to a

standard AC outlet.

Preparation

USING VEHICLE BATTERY

POWER

You can power the scanner from a

vehicle’s 12V power source (such

as a cigarette-lighter socket) using

a 9V, 300-mA DC adapter and a

size B Adaptaplug (neither

supplied). Both are available at

your local RadioShack store.

Cautions:

•You must use a

power source that

supplies regulated

9V DC and delivers at least

300 mA. Its center tip must be

settopositiveanditsplug

must fit the scanner's PWR

DC 9V jack. Using an adapter

that does not meet these

specifications could damage

the scanner or the adapter.

• Always connect the DC

adapter to the scanner before

you connect it to the power

source. When you finish,

disconnect the adapter from

the power source before you

disconnect it from the

scanner.

To power the scanner using a DC

adapter, attach the Adaptaplug to

the DC adapter so the tip reads

positive (+), set the adapter’s

voltage switch to 9V, then insert

the Adaptaplug into the scanner’s

PWRDC9Vjack. Plug the other

end of the DC adapter into your

vehicle’s cigarette-lighter socket.

ÔNOTE Ô

Ifyouuseacigarette-

lighter power cable and

your vehicle’s engine is

running, you might hear

electrical noise from the

engine while scanning.

This is normal.

Preparation

CHARGING

RECHARGEABLE

BATTERIES

Your scanner has a built-in

charging circuit that lets you

charge rechargeable batteries

while they are in the scanner. To

charge rechargeable batteries,

you need to use an AC adapter

which supplies 9V (RadioShack

Cat. No. 273-1767) or a DC

adapter which supplies 10V

(RadioShack Cat. No. 273-1830).

Connect a size B Adaptaplug to

the adapter’s cable with the tip set

to positive then insert the

Adaptaplug into the scanner’s

PWRDC9Vjack. Ô

It takes between 14 and 16 hours

to recharge Ni-MH or 7 and 8

hours to recharge Ni-Cd batteries

that are fully discharged. You can

operate the scanner while

recharging the batteries, but

charging takes longer. !

CONNECTING AN

ANTENNA

Connecting a Supplied

Antenna

You must install an antenna

before you can operate the

scanner.

The supplied stub antenna helps

your scanner receive most strong

transmissions at events and

makes the scanner easier to carry

and use. The supplied flexible

antenna provides slightly better

reception and helps your scanner

receive strong local signals.

ÔNOTE Ô

• Do not overcharge

Ni-Cd batteries.

Overcharging causes

them to get hot and

shortens their life.

• Ni-Cd batteries last

longer and deliver

more power if you

occasionally let them

fully discharge. To do

this, simply use the

scanner until

flashesonthedisplay

and the scanner

beeps. Then fully

charge the batteries.

!IMPORTANT !

The EPA

certified

RBRC®

Battery

Recycling

Seal on the nickel-

cadmium(Ni-Cd) battery

indicates RadioShack is

voluntarily participating

in an industry program

to collect and recycle

these batteries at the

end of their useful life,

when taken out of

service in the United

States or Canada. The

RBRC programprovides

a convenient alternative

to placing used Ni-Cd

batteries into the trash

or the municipal waste

stream, which may be

illegal in your area.

Please call 1-800-THE-

SHACK (1-800-843-

7422) for information on

Ni-Cd battery recycling

and disposal bans/

restrictions in your area.

RadioShack’s

involvement in this

program is part of the

company’s commitment

to preserving our

environment and

conserving our natural

resources.

Preparation

1. Align the slots around the

antenna’s connector with the

tabs on the antenna jack.

2. Press the antenna down over

the jack and turn the

antenna’s base clockwise

until it locks into place.

Connecting an Outdoor

Antenna

Instead ofa supplied antenna, you

can connect an outdoor base-

station or mobile antenna (not

supplied) to your scanner using a

BNC connector. Your local

RadioShack store sells a variety of

antennas. Choose the one that

best meets your needs.

When deciding on a mobile or

base-station antenna and its

location, consider these points:

• The antenna should be as

high as possible on the

vehicle or building.

• The antenna and its cable

should be as far as possible

from sources of electrical

noise, such as appliances or

other radios.
