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 you 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 the hull and water.

GROUND INFRMATION

Most newer U.S. and foreign made cars and small trucks use a negative ground system, while some older cars and some newer large trucks may use a positive ground system.

A negative ground system is generally identified by the (-) battery terminal being connected to the vehicle motor block, but if you cannot determine the polarity

system of your vehicle, it is suggested that you consult your vehicle dealer for definite information.

POWER CORD CONNECTION: NEGATIVE GROUND SYSTEM

If you are operating on a negative ground system, connect the red DC power cord from the transceiver to the positive, or (+), battery terminal or other convenient point and connect the black power lead to the chassis or vehicle frame, or (-) battery terminal.
