Introduction -
Your 40 channel CB represents the state of the art in high tech engineering. This
unit is not only a full feature CB transceiver but incorporates a high performance
10 channel NOAA weather bureau VHF receiver. The full 10-channel weather
receiver allows use on all current and future NOAA weather bureau channels
plus Canadian and international channels. The unit incorporates microprocessor
controlled PLL circuitry for precise tuning and increased function. Receiver noise
and interference can now be largely eliminated by the new ESP2™ noise
reduction system. Also included is a backlighted Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
digital information center that out-dates CB’s with LED readouts.
How to install your Midland mobile CB?
This transceiver may be installed in any 12 volt negative ground-system
car or truck. Almost all current U.S. and foreign vehicles use a negative system,
but some older models and some newer large trucks may have a positive
ground.
Check the requirements for your vehicle before you begin installation.
Generally, you have a negative-ground system if the minus ( - ) battery
terminal is connected to the motor block. Contact your dealer in the event you
are unable to determine your vehicle’s polarity system.

Where to locate your CB transceiver .
Your new Midland CB is designed to be installed under the dash or
vertically on a console of your vehicle. Safety and convenience are the primary
considerations in deciding exactly where to locate your radio.
Caution: Be sure that the unit is located so that it does not interfere with the
driver or impair access to any controls. Connecting cables must be routed and
secured in such a manner as not to interfere with the operation of the brake,
accelerator or other controls. Interference from either the unit or connecting
cables may contribute to the loss of control of the vehicle.
