MOUNTING THE SCANNER

The most common mounting location for this scanner is under your vehicle's
dashboard.  When choosing a location, be sure the scanner is easy to
reach, all cables are clear of the vehicle pedals or other moving parts,
and the scanner is not directly in front of heating vents.  Also, be sure
that the scanner is located so that the passengers have enough leg room.

1.  Choose a mounting location.  Then, use the mounting bracket as a
    template to mark the position for the mounting screw holes.

2.  In the marked positions, drill holes slightly smaller than the
    supplied screws.  Take care not to drill into or damage objects behind
    the mounting surface.

3.  Attach the bracket using the supplied self-tapping screws and lock
    washers.

4.  Attach the scanner to the bracket using the mounting knobs.

CONNECTING THE ANTENNA

Purchase the magnet-mount mobile all-band antenna (Cat. No. 20-012) and
Motorola-to-BNC plug adaptor (Cat. No. 278-117).  Follow the instructions
provided with the antenna for installation.

For best results, mount the antenna:

    As high as possible on the vehicle

    In a vertical position

After you mount the antenna, route the antenna's cable to the scanner and
connect the cable to the scanner's ANT jack.

CAUTIONS:  Do not run the cable over sharp edges or moving parts that
           could damage the cable.

           Do not run the cable next to power cables or other antenna
           cables.

           Do not run the cable through areas in the engine compartment
           that produce extreme heat.

CONNECTING TO POWER

We designed your scanner to connection to 12-volt power systems.  The red,
orange, and black wires extending from the back of your scanner are for
power connections.

1.  Connect the red wire to a terminal that provides power only when you
    turn the ignition to ON or ACC.

2.  Connect the orange wire to a continuous 12-volt source (either
    directly to the battery's positive terminal or to a fuse terminal that
    the ignition key does not switch.)  This wire provides continuous
    power for the memory when the ignition is turned off.

3.  Connect the black wire to a metal part of the vehicle's frame (chassis
    ground).

NOTE:  Modern vehicles have many non-metallic parts.  If you connect the
       black wire to a nonmetallic part, or if a nonmetallic part
       insulates the wire from the vehicle's chassis, the scanner does not
       work.
