Follow these steps to mount the CB
using the supplied hardware.
1. Using the mounting bracket as a
template, mark the positions for
the three screw holes.
2. In each marked location, drill a
hole slightly smaller than the
supplied large screws.
Caution: Be careful not to drill
into anything behind the mount-
ing surface.
3. Using a Phillips screwdriver,
attach the mounting bracket to
the mounting surface with the
large screws and supplied lock
washers.
4. Attach the CB to the mounting
bracket using the rubber wash-
ers and mounting knobs.
CONNECTING AN
ANTENNA
Caution: To prevent damage to your
CB, you must connect an antenna to
the CB before you operate it.
Selecting an Antenna
Although this CB is designed for mo-
bile use, you can also use it as a
base station. When deciding on a
mobile or base-station antenna and
its location, consider these points:
• For the best performance, the
antenna should be vertical and
located as high as possible.
• The antenna and antenna cable
should be as far as possible
from sources of electrical noise
(ignition systems, gauges, etc.).
