The most common mounting location for this CB is under a vehicle’s dashboard. However, if you plan to use the CB as a base station, you can place it on a desk, shelf, or table (see “Using the Transceiver as a Base Station” on Page 6).

If you are mounting the CB in a vehicle, choose a location where:

You can easily reach the CB.

Wires and cables are clear of the vehicle’s pedals or other moving parts.

The CB is not directly in front of heating vents.

All wires and cables can reach their connection points.

Follow these steps to mount the CB using the supplied hardware.

1.Using the mounting bracket as a template, mark the positions for the screw holes on the mounting surface.

2.In each marked location, drill a small starter hole. .#

3.Mount the bracket to the mounting surface with the supplied 5 mm bolts, spring washers, plain washers, and nuts.

4.Peel the backings off the

adhesive on the back of the supplied rubber washers and

attach the washers to the mounting holes on the CB. Then

attach the CB to the mounting bracket using the mounting knobs.
