USING VEHICLE BATTERY
POWER
Follow these steps to connect the trans-
ceiver to vehicle battery power.
1. Connect the red wire (with the in-
line fuse holder) on the back of the
transceiver to a point in your vehi-
cle’s fuse block that has power only
when the ignition is in the ACC
(accessory) or ON position.
2. Connect the black wire to a metal
part of the vehicle’s frame (chassis
ground).
Caution:
Do not connect the black
wire to a non-metallic (plastic) part,
or to any part insulated from the
vehicle’s chassis by a non-metallic
part.
USING THE
TRANSCEIVER AS A
BASE STATION
Although this transceiver is designed
mainly for mobile use, you can also use
it as a base station with an AC power
source.
For base station installation, you need
these items:
• 12-volt DC power supply that can
supply at least 2 amps (such as Cat.
No. 22-504)
Caution:
Most 12-volt DC power
supplies plug into a standard AC
outlet to produce DC power. Before
connecting your CB to a 12-volt DC
power supply, read and follow the
instructions included with the power
supply.
• base station antenna (such as Cat.
No. 21-969)
• coaxial antenna cable and connec-
tors, available at your local
RadioShack store
