20-522b.fm Page 16 Thursday, September 7, 2000 9:41 AM 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 (also available at your local RadioShack store). Follow the installation instructions supplied with the an- tenna, route the antenna cable to the scanner, then con- nect it to the ANT jack. Warning

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 vol- ume level that does not cause discomfort might still damage your hearing.
