To remove the antenna from your ve- hicle, grasp the base and then firmly “peel” it up and off the vehicle’s sur- face.

Caution: Never slide the antenna’s magnetic base across your vehicle’s painted surface. Dust and dirt parti- cles might scratch your vehicle’s fin- ish.

Follow these steps to power the CB from your vehicle’s battery.

1.Plug the barrel plug of the sup- plied power cord into DC 12V on the bottom of the CB.

2.Ensure the cigarette-lighter plug cap is tightly screwed onto the plug and insert the plug into the cigarette-lighter socket.

Notes:

•If the CB does not operate prop- erly, check that the lighter socket is clean and free of ashes or other debris.

•If the CB still does not work, check the fuse in the power cord (see “Replacing the Power Cord’s Fuse” on Page 14).
