Installation
Location
Plan the location of the transceiver and micro-
phone bracket before starting the installation.
Select a location that is convenient for operation
and does not interfere with the driver or passen-
ger in the vehicle.
In automobiles, the transceiver is usually mounted
to the dash panel with the microphone bracket
beside it.
Mounting and connection
This radio is supplied with a universal mounting
bracket. The transceiver is held in the bracket
by the two thumb screws (supplied), permitting
adjustment to the most convenient angle. The
bracket must be mounted with the machine screws
(supplied). The mounting surface must be me-
chanically strong. Proceed as follows to mount
the transceiver:
After you have determinined the most convenient
location in your vehicle, hold the radio with
mounting bracket in the exact location desired.
If nothing interferes with mounting it in the
position, remove the mounting bracket thumb
screws and mark the mounting holes using the
bracket as a template. Before drilling the holes,
make sure nothing will interfere with the installa-
tion of the mounting bolts. Drill the holes and
mount the bracket and then install the transceiver.
Connect the antenna cable plug to the standard
receptacle on the rear panel. Most CB antennas
are terminated with a type PL-259 plug which
mates with the receptacle on the rear panel.
Battery connection
This radio may be installed and used in any 12V
DC negative efises44.i.oe ground
-
system vehicle.
Most new cars or small trucks use a negative
ground system while some older cars and some
newer large trucks may use a positive ground
system.
1. Negative ground system: Connect the
red power lead from the radio to the positive
or (±) battery terminal or other convenient
point, and connect the black power lead to
the chassis or vehicle frame or (—) battery
terminal.
Positive ground system: In the cas
pos
round system, connect

terminal.
In automobile installation, ± 12V DC is usually
obtained from the accessory contact on the
ignition switch. This prevents the set being left
on accidentally when the driver leaves the car
and also permits operating the radio without the
engine running. You can locate the accessory
contact on most ignition switches by tracing the
power wire from the broadcast receiver existing
in the car.
