Using the Antenna’s

Magnetic Base

Note: The supplied magnetic mount base is designed for emergency use only while your vehicle is stopped. If you want to use the CB when the ve- hicle is moving, you need an optional standard mount antenna (available at your local Radio Shack store). You also need a plug adapter (Cat. No. 278-208) to connect the standard an- tenna’s PL-259 plug to EXT ANT on your CB.

1.While your vehicle is stopped, screw the antenna into the hole on top of the magnetic base.

2.Place the base as near as possi- ble to the center of your vehi- cle’s roof.

Warning: Do not remove the metallic backing on the bottom of the magnetic base.

3.Plug the magnetic base’s wire into EXT ANT.
