Using Vehicle Power

To power your CB radio from your vehicle, you will need a DC power cord (not included). You may also need a roof-mounted antenna to improve transmission quality and increase the transmission range.

1.Turn off the CB radio if it is on.

2.Use the DC power cord to connect the CB’s 12V DC PWR jack and the vehicle’s 12V power source, such as the cigarette-lighter socket.

3.Turn on the CB radio to use.

Cautions:

•You must use a Class 2 power supply that provides regulated 12V DC and delivers at least 2.5A. The barrel plug’s center must be positive and the barrel plug must fit the CB radio’s

12V DC PWR jack. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage the CB radio or adapter.

•Always connect the power supply to the CB radio before you connect it to the vehicle outlet, and disconnect the power supply from the outlet before you disconnect it from the CB radio.
