You can connect an optional microphone or earphone with a 3/32-inch (2.5mm) mini plug and a 1/8-inch (3.5mm) plug to the MIC/EAR jacks on the front of the CB. To avoid feedback, do not connect the microphone/earphone’s 3/32- inch (2.5 mm) plug to only the MIC jack in CB mode.

To connect a headset with Voice Activated operation, we recommend you check the response sensitivity of the VOX circuit before installation. Different Voice Activation devices provide different performance results.

Do not use an earphone with your transceiver when operating a motor vehicle in or near traffic. Doing so can create a traffic hazard and could be illegal in some areas.

If you use an earphone with your transceiver be very careful. Do not listen to a continuous broadcast. Even though some earphones/headphones let you hear some outside sounds when listening at normal volume levels, they still can present a traffic hazard.

•Do not connect the black wire to a non-metallic (plastic) part, or to any part insulated from the vehicle’s chassis by a non- metallic part.

•Most 13.8-volt DC power supplies plug into a standard AC outlet to produce DC power. Before connecting your CB to a 13.8-volt DC power supply, read and follow the instructions included with the power supply.

•To prevent damage to the CB, be sure you connect an antenna and the microphone before you use your CB.
