cable’s plug with the ridge in the
MIC jack, then insert the plug into
the jack.

outer ring by turning it clockwise.
3. Slide the microphone onto the mi-
crophone holder.
4. To disconnect the microphone,
loosen the microphone cable’s

INSTALLING AN
ANTENNA
Caution: To prevent damage to your
CB, you must connect an antenna to it
before you operate it.
Note: If you are using this CB as a
base station, see “Using the CB as a
Base Station” on Page 9.
Selecting an Antenna
When deciding on an antenna and
where to locate it, consider these
points:
• The location of the antenna
should be as high as possible.
• The antenna and antenna cable
should be as far as possible from
sources of electrical noise (igni-
tion systems, gauges, and so on).
Your local RadioShack store sells a
variety of CB antennas for both mobile
and base-station use. Choose the one
that best meets your needs.
Connecting an Antenna
Once you choose an antenna, follow
its mounting instructions. Route the
antenna’s cable to the CB, then screw
the cable to the
ANTENNA jack on the
back of the CB.
