В. INSTALLATION
1. LOCATION
Plan the location of the transceiver and microphone bracket
before starting the installation. Select a location that is

driver or passenger in the vehicle. In automobiles, the
transceiver is usually mounted to the dash panel with the
microphone bracket beside it.
2. MOUNTING AND CONNECTION
This radio is supplied with a universal mounting bracket.

your vehicle, hold the radio with the mounting bracket in
the exact location desired. If nothing interfères with
mounting it in the desired position, remove the mounting
bracket thumb screws and mark the mounting holes using
the bracket as a template. Before drilling the holes,
make suro nothing will interfère with the installation of
the mounting screws. Drill the holes and mount the bracket
and then install the radio.

on the rear panel. Most CB antennas are terminated with a
type PL—259 plug which mates with the receptacle on the
reçu* panel.
c) Connect the DC power input wire with the fuse (red) to +12V
DC. This wire extends from a plug which connecte to the
rear panel. In automobile installations, +12V DC is usual
