Installation and Start-Up Introduction
Mounting and Connections
Select a location for the transceiver and microphone bracket that is convenient for
operation. In automobiles, the transceiver is usually mounted to the underneath of the
dash panel, with the microphone bracket beside it.
A universal mounting bracket is supplied along with self-tapping

screws and star washers. The transceiver is held in the
universal mounting bracket by two thumb screws, permitting
adjustment at the most convenient angle.
To mount and connect your transceiver:
1. Hold the radio with mounting bracket in the exact
CB Tranceiver
location desired. Remove the mounting bracket
and use it as a template to mark the location for
the mounting screws.

2. Drill necessary holes and secure mounting
bracket in location.
3. Connect the antenna cable plug to the re cep ta cle
marked "ANT" on the back of the unit.
4. Connect the red lead of the DC power cord
to an accessory 12 volt fuse.
5. Connect the black lead to the negative side
Fuse Connection of the automobile. This is usually the chassis.
Any convenient location with good electrical
contact (remove paint) may be used.
NOTE
Before installing the CB radio, visually check the vehicle
battery connections to determine which battery
terminal, positive or negative (positive is the larger of
the two) is grounded to the engine block (or chassis).

6. Mount the microphone bracket on right side of the transceiver
or near it using two screws supplied. When mount ing in an
automobile, place the bracket under the dash so the
microphone is readily accessible.
7. Attach the four pin microphone cable to receptacle
on front of unit and install unit in bracket securely.
NOTE
For improved CB radio performance, connect the radio power leads directly to the
vehicle battery. This helps to ensure the following: 1) reduces conducted power line noise
into radio by taking advantage of the mechanical filtering properties of the vehicle battery.
2) Using the correct wire gauge between the battery and radio, helps to minimize Voltage
drop to the radio transmitter section to maximize transmitter RF output power.
