To use your Pocket-Scan you must do three things:

Install the batteries

Connect one of the antennas supplied

Install 1, 2, 3, or 4 crystals

To install the batteries, turn the receiver face down, press in firmly on
both sides of the section marked BATTERY PACK, and lift the compartment up
and away.

Remove the battery pack.  Insert four AA batteries, one at a time, making
sure the polarity markings inside the battery pack match up (+ to + and -
to -) with markings on the batteries.

We recommend that you use rechargeable Nickel Cadmium AA batteries, Radio
Shack Catalog Number 23-125, or AA Alkaline ENERCELLS, Catalog Number
23-552.

Press Battery Pack into place (press sides of Battery Pack inward to snap
it back into the case).

Two antennas are provided with the PRO-20:  a flexible "rubber duck" antenna
and a telescoping one.  The flexible antenna is for use in cramped areas or
wherever a longer antenna would get in the way.  The telescoping antenna is
for obtaining the very best possible reception from your receiver.  The
telescoping antenna must be extended fully for proper operation.

Crystals are not included with your Pocket-Scan because the frequencies are
so numerous.  The frequencies used in your part of the country will be
different from those used in other areas.  Your Radio Shack Store Manager
will advise you as to what frequencies are most used and help you in your
selection of crystals.

Remove the Crystal Compartment Cover by sliding it to the left and insert
crystal(s) into the crystal socket (Lo or Hi).  Provision is made to install
4 crystals; each position can be used for either VHF Hi or VHF Lo.

For VHF Lo crystals, use the center and lower crystal socket holes.

For VHF Hi crystals, use the center and upper crystal socket holes.

Since crystal frequencies must be extremely accurate and crystals should
be matched for specific units, we recommended you obtain crystals for your
Pocket-Scan only from Radio Shack.  Be sure to specify the Catalog Number
and Model description of your Monitor Receiver.  We can not be responsible
for the poor or improper operation of crystals from any other manufacturer.
