Introduction
Mounting and Connections
•
Select a location for the transceiver and microphone bracket that is convenient for
operation. In automobiles, the transceiver is usually mounted to the underneath of
the dash panel, with the microphone bracket beside it.
A universal mounting bracket is supplied along with self
tapping screws and star washers. The transceiver is held
in the universal mounting bracket by two thumb screws,
permitting adjustment at the most convenient angle.
To mount and connect your transceiver:
1. Hold the radio with mounting bracket in the exact
location desired. Remove the mounting bracket
and use it as a template to mark the location for
the mounting screws.
2. Drill necessary holes and secure mounting
bracket in location.
3. Connect the antenna cable plug to the receptacle
marked “ANT” on the back of the unit.
4. Connect the red lead of the DC power cord
to an accessory 12 volt fuse.
5. Connect the black lead to the negative side
of the automobile. This is usually the chassis.
Any convenient location with good electrical
contact (remove paint) may be used.
NOTE
Before installing the CB radio, visually check the
vehicle battery connections to determine which
battery terminal, positive or negative (positive is
the larger of the two) is grounded to the engine
block (or chassis).
6. Mount the microphone bracket on right side
of the transceiver or near it using two screws
supplied. When mounting in an automobile,
place the bracket under the dash so the
microphone is readily accessible.
7. Attach the four pin microphone cable to receptacle
on front of unit and install unit in bracket securely.
