Power Connection

This is protected against an inversion of polarities. However, before switching it on, you
are advised to check all the connections. Your equipment must be supplied with a con ti -
nued current of . 2 volts (A). Today, most cars and lorries are negative earth. You can
check this by making sure that the negative terminal of the battery is connected either to
the engine block or to the chassis. If this is not the case, you should consult your dealer.
WARNING: Lorries generally have two batteries to supply a voltage of 24 volts, in which
case it will be necessary to insert a 24/. 2 volt converter into the electrical circuit. The
following connection steps should be carried out with the power cable disconnected
from the set
a) Check whether the battery is of . 2 volts.
b) Locate the positive and negative terminals of the battery (+ is red and – is black).

the power cable directly to the battery (as the connection of the CB cable to the wiring
of the car-radio or other parts of the electrical circuit may, in some cases, increase the
possibilities of interference).

the negative terminal of the battery.
