Power Connections; Antenna Connections - Ray Jefferson CB-845 Instruction Handbook Manual

POWER CONNECTIONS
Ttis transceiver may be installed and used in any 12V DC negative or positive ground
system vehicle. Most Australian cars are negative ground type.
Refer to appropriate instruction.
For Negative Ground System vehicle:
Connect the red DC power cord from the transceiver to the positive (+) battery ter-
minal or other convenient point and connect the black power cord to the chassis
or vehicle frame or (—) battery terminal.
For Positive Ground System vehicle:
Connect the black power cord from the transceiver to the negative (—) battery ter-
minal or other convenient point and connect the red power cord to the chassis or
vehicle frame or (+) battery terminal.
CAUTION: A negative ground system is generally identified by the (—) battery
terminal being connected to the vehicle motor block, but if you can
not determine the porality system of your car, it is suggested that
you contact with your dealer for definite informations.
ANTENNA CONNECTIONS
A vertical whip antenna is best suited for mobile operation. A non-directional anten-
na should be used for best results in any case. The base-loaded whip antenna will
normally provide effective communication or for greater range and more reliable
operation a full quarter-wave whip may be used. Either of these antennas use the
metal car body as a ground plane and the shield of the base lead as well as the
metal case of the transceiver should be grounded. A standard antenna connector
(type SO-239) is provided on the transceiver for easy connection to a standard PL-
259 coaxial plug. Following the antenna manufacturer's instructions carefully will
insure proper operation.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Before operation, make sure not to short circuit the antenna or do not try to
transmit without an antenna connected to the ANT connector on the rear panel.
This may cause damage to the output power transistor.
1. Insert the microphone plug into the MIC jack.
2. Make sure your antenna is securely connected to the ANT connector.
3. Place the CB PA switch in CB position, then turn power on.
