INSTALLATION
MOBILE STATION INSTALLATION
Plan the location of the transceiver and microphone bracket before starting the
installation. Select a location that is convenient for operation and does not interfere
with the driver or passenger in the vehicle. The radio should be securely fastened to
some solid face, using the mounting bracket and self-tapping screws which are
provided.
MOBILE STATION ANTENNA
Since the maximum allowable power output of the transmitter is limited by the
F.C.C., the antenna is a very important factor affecting transmission distance. It is
for this reason that we strongly recommend that you install only a quality antenna in
your new citizens band system. You have just purchased a superior transceiver. Don't
diminish its performance by installing an inferior antenna.
Only a properly matched antenna system will allow maximum power transfer from
the 50-ohm transmission line to the radiating element. Your UNIDEN dealer is
qualified to assist you in the selection of the proper antenna to meet your applica-
tion requirements.
For automobile installation, the whip antenna may be used with good effect. The
most efficient and practical installation is a full quarter wave whip antenna mounted
on the rear deck or fender top midway between the rear window and bumper.
A short "loaded" whip antenna is more convenient to install on your automobile,
although the efficiency is less than a full quarter wave whip antenna.
For marine installation, consult your dealer for information regarding an adequate
grounding system and prevention of electrolysis between fittings in the hull and
water.
CONNECTING THE POWER CORDS
With regard to the connection of the power cords, it may be possible or desirable to
connect the (red lead for negative ground system) or (black lead for positive ground
system) to the ignition switch accessory terminal so that the transceiver is auto-
matically turned off when the ignition switch (key) is turned off.
Alternately, the power lead may be connected to an available terminal on the fuse
block or even to a point in the wiring harness. Care must be taken, however, to guard
against a short circuit condition. When in doubt, please contact your vehicle dealer
for specific information for your vehicle.
GROUND INFORMATION:
NOTE: This transceiver may be installed and used in any 12-volt DC negative or
positive ground system vehicle.
