INSTALLATION

HOME INSTALLATION

No

special

mounting

is

required

for

indoo

r

use.

The

unit

is

designed

for

shelf

or

table·top

operation. Connect

the

AC

power

cord

and antenna

to

the

appropriate

jacks.

To

receive weak signals

from

a

distant

station,

an

outdoor-type

external

antenna may

be

required.

An

antenna tuned

to

the

desired frequency bands

is

recommended.

For

best performance,

the

antenna shouId

be

mounted

as

high

as

practical.

See

your

Sears

store

for

available antenna models.

If

remote

or

private

listening

is

desired,

an

external speaker

of

8 ohms impedance

or

earphone may

be

plugged

into

the

"EXT

SP"

jack located on

the

rear panel

of

the

unit

.

MOBILE INSTALLATION

Mounting

You

can install

this

unit

in any

location

where 12

volts

negative gro

und

DC power

is

available. Select a suitable

location

considering appearance and convenience

of

operation.

The

location

of

the

unit

should

not

interfere

with

pro

per and safe

operation

of

your

car.

The

holes in

the

bracket are used

for

mou

nting

to

the

bottom

side

of

the

mount

i

ng

bracket

as

a guide,

drill

two

holes

on

the

underside

of

the

dashboard.

POWER CONNECTION FOR

NEGATIVE

GROUND VEHICLES

Vehicle

with

negative ground

will

have

the

negative

(-)

terminal connected

directly

to

the

frame

or

chassis

of

the veh icle.

Vehicles

with

positive ground

will

have

the

positive (+) terminal connected

directly

to

the frame

of

chassis

of

the

vehicle.

DO

NOT

USE

WITH

POSITIVE

GROUND

SYSTEM.

Connect

the

Red

wire

(with

in-line fuse holder)

to

the

Accessory terminal on

the

ignition

switch

of

your

vehicle. Make a good mechanical and electrical connection

to

the frame

of

the

vehicle

for

the

Black (negative) wire.

IGNITION

INTERFERENCE

The

ignition

system

of

automobiles may create noise

that

will

interfere wi+h the

operation

of

the

unit.

Noise

filters

(optional)

are

available

to

eliminate this

type

of

interference.

ANTENNA

COUPLING HARNESS

The antenna coupling harness

is

intended

for

use

with

your

automobile antenna.

When

it

is

installed, the necessity

of

changing over

the

antenna plug

from

the car

radio

to

the Programmable Scanning

Monitor

is

eliminated.

Connecting

the

Antenna

Harness:

Insert

the

plug

of

the sutomobile antenna

into

the jack

of

the antenna coupling

harness. Then insert one cable marked

as

"AM/FM

RADIO"

when comes

from

the

coupling harness

into

the antenna jack

of

the

car radio and the

other

cable marked

as

"SCANNER"

into

the

antenna jack

of

the Programmable Scanning

Monitor.

Note:

If,

when using the antenna coupling harness, reception

is

not

satisfactory

we

suggest

that

you

purchase a separate antenna

for

use

with

your

Programmable Scanning

Monitor.

This

will

improve

your

reception under weak signal conditions.
