Powering Your Scanner
Youcanpoweryourscannerfromawalloutlet,orfromyourvehicle’sbattery.
You must use a power source that supplies 12V DC and delivers at least 600 mA. Its center tip must be set to positive and its plug must fit the scanner’s DC 13.8V jack. The supplied AC adapter and DC power cord meet these specifications. Using a power source that does not meet these specifications could damage the scanner or the adapter.
Wall Outlet
1. ConnectthetipofthesuppliedACadaptertotheDC13.8Vjackattherearofyourscanner.
2. PlugtheACadapterintoyourwalloutlet.
To prevent electric shock, do not use the AC adapter’s polarized plug with an extension cord, receptacle, or outlet unless you can fully insert the blades to prevent blade exposure.
To avoid injury, do not connect the provided power adapter to a ceiling outlet.

ForMotorolachannels,yourscannerdisplaystheTalkGroupIDmemorylocation,receivedfrequency,voicechannel(VC),andtheMotorolaIDnumber.
Your scanner automatically mutes the audio while it decodes control channel data. However, we recommend you turn SQ clockwise and leave it set to a point just after the hiss stops. This lets the scanner quickly acquire the data channel.
For Motorola trunking systems, more than one talk group can transmit at a time. If you manually tune the scanner, you will hear the talk group on that channel, but the display will alternate between all active Talk Group IDs.
For EDACS and Motorola (above 406 MHz range), the scanner monitors the control channel between each transmission to identify talk groups. For some Motorola (under 512 MHz range) and LTR systems, the scanner uses the subaudible data sent with each transmission to identify talk groups.
