Powering Your PRO-32

Operating with Batteries

Two sets of batteries are required - one set for operation, the other for
memory backup.

To install batteries, position the Receiver on it's face, press the "=\/="
mark and slide the battery compartment cover off.  Take out the battery
holder.

Put six fresh AA batteries in the battery holder, matching the polarity
markings inside the holder with markings on the batteries (+ to + and - to
-).  Replace the battery holder.  Position the holder correctly.  The
ribbon should come out from the outer edge of the compartment.  If you
install the holder in wrong direction, the PRO-32 will not operate.
Replace the battery compartment cover.

When the battery voltage becomes low, the BATTery LOW indicator will light
on the LCD.  Although the PRO-32 may hold the stored frequencies for as
long as a month after the LOW BATT indicator lights, it is best to replace
batteries immediately.  Weak or dead batteries, even the so-called "leak
proof" type, can leak damaging chemicals.

We recommend that you use our alkaline ENERCELLs, Cat. No. 23-552. Or, use
our rechargeable nickel-cadmium AA batteries, Cat. No. 23-125, with the
adapter/charger.  The nickel-cadmium batteries can be recharged over 500
times.

To recharge nickel cadmium batteries in the Receiver, simply plug an
external adapter/charger into the CHarGe jack.  Use only our 273-1455.  To
fully charge nickel cadmium batteries, leave the adapter/charger connected
for 10 to 18 hours.  You can operate the unit while the nickel cadmium
batteries are being charged.  Disconnect the adapter/charger when charging
is over or during power failure.

WARNING: Never connect the adapter/charger to the CHarGe jack when regular
         or alkaline batteries are installed, because charging can cause
         these batteries to explode.

Memory Backup Batteries

When you turn the power on, the memory backup starts working and continues
to function when the OFF/VOLUME is set to off.  Even when you remove
batteries for replacement, or disconnect the adapter, the memory will
still be backed up for approximately 30 minutes.  However, for long term
memory backup, you will have to rely on the batteries for memory storage.

Install three button-type batteries (Cat. No. 23-101 or equivalent) in the
memory battery holders inside the battery compartment.  Replace the memory
batteries once a year for continued protection.

Operating on AC Current

You may operate the PRO-32 from AC power provided you use our adapter
273-1455.  Connect the plug of adapter to the PoWeR jack and plug the
adapter into a standard AC outlet.

Operating from Cigarette Lighter Socket

Or you may power the PRO-32 from your vehicle's battery, if your car has a
negative ground electrical system.  Use only our 270-1560 auto adapter.
Select the plug that fits the PoWeR jack, set center tip negative and use
the 9V range of the adapter.  When you connect the adapter, the internal
batteries are automatically disconnected.

CAUTION:  Mobile use of scanners may be unlawful or require a permit in
          some areas.  Check with your local authorities.

Antenna

Attach the flexible antenna to the ANT connector.  Align the protrusion on
the connector with the notch on the antenna and rotate the metal portion
until it is secure.

The flexible antenna can be removed if you wish to try a different antenna.
You can attach an external mobile antenna or outdoor base antenna by using
the BNC connector on your PRO-32.

RESET Switch

When the LCD shows random display or no display at all, press this switch
to clear the PRO-32.  With power turned on, press the switch with a ball
point pen or similar object. Note however, all the memories stored in your
PRO-32 will be cleared by the reset and your scanner will have to be
reprogrammed.  You may also have to use this switch when the time comes
for replacement of memory backup batteries.

Earphone Listening

If you have difficulty hearing in a noisy area or if you don't want your
scanner to bother other people, plug an earphone into the EARphone jack
for private listening.  This will automatically disconnect the built-in
speaker.

Note:  For greater clarity in noisy locations, we suggest using an
       extension speaker assembly, Cat. No. 21-549.  You will also require
       a subminiature adapter, 274-327, for the connection.
