Licensing Information
Operation of this equipment requires
a valid station license issued by the
P and
T [Postal and Telecommunications De-
partment].
Do not
transmit with your
equipment until you have received your
license. Be certain that you have read the
P and T Form
RB 14
rules and regu-
lations before operating your station.
Licensing application is to be made on a

A copy of this
Form is furnished with your transceiver.
Installation
The transceiver should be placed in a
convenient operating location close to an
ac power outlet and the antenna lead-in
cable. To prevent fire or shock hazard,
do not expose this appliance to rain or
moisture.
Connections
The
Apollo-IV
is supplied with built-
in ac power cord and detachable dc power
cable.
Do not use both power supply
cable at the same time.
Proceed as follows
to complete all necessary connection to
the transceiver.
1.
Connect the antenna cable plug to
the standard receptacle on the rear
panel. Most CB antennas are termi-
minated with a type
PL-259
plug and
mate with the receptacle of your trans-
ceiver.
2.
AC Power Operation.
This trans-
ceiver has been designed primarily for
ac-power-supplied base station use.
Before inserting the ac plug into out-
let, make sure your transceiver is
off.
Insert the ac plug at the end of the
cable firmly into an ac outlet supply-
ing
240 volts, 50 or 60 Hz ac.
Also
make sure, when in ac operation, the
dc power cable plug is disconnected
from the transceiver. For protection,
the ac input circuit of the transceiver
is fused at the rear panel.
3.
DC Power Operation.
Your trans-
ceiver is capable of operation from a
dc power supply source of 13.8 volts
with low current drain, such as a
battery in the vehicle. This expedient
feature exhibits its convenience upon
such cases as, power failure, camping
site, on board, emergency or mobile.
First make sure the vehicle on which
you are going to install the transceiver
is
negative ground system. Do not
install the transceiver in a positive
ground type vehicle.
Failure to do so
may cause irrevocable damage to trans-
ceiver and your vehicle. Connect the
dc power cable plug to the dc
