Cautions:
• If you use the CB in a vehicle, mount
it securely to avoid damage to the
CB or vehicle or injury to anyone in
the vehicle during sudden starts or
stops.
• Do not mount the CB where it could
damage or interfere with the opera-
tion of any passive restraint safety
device (an airbag or seat belt).
Follow these steps to mount the CB us-
ing the supplied hardware.
1. Using the mounting bracket as a
template, mark the positions for the
screw holes on the mounting sur-
face.
2. In each marked location, drill a hole
slightly smaller than the supplied
mounting screws.
Caution: Be careful not to drill into
objects behind the mounting sur-
face.
3. Mount the bracket to the mounting
surface with the supplied 6 mm
bolts, spring washers, plain wash-
ers, and nuts.

Note: If you cannot reach behind
the mounting surface to attach the
nuts on the bolts, use the supplied 6
mm bolts and plain washers to
secure the bracket.
4. Attach the CB to the mounting
bracket using the supplied rubber
washers and mounting knobs.
CONNECTING AN

There are many different types of CB

dioShack store sells a wide variety of
