Power Wiring (negative ground only)

Step 1: If you have not determined whether your vehicle has a negative or positive ground, do so now. Then disconnect the negative lead from the battery to prevent short circuits that can occur during wiring. Do not connect this transceiver to positive ground electrical systems.

Step 2: With negative ground:

A. Connect the positive (RED WIRE) the one with in-line fuse holder to either the ( a ) fuse block

( b ) cigarette lighter or

( c ) directly to the positive post on your battery.

Usually, the fuse block is the most convenient connecting point. It is also possible to connect to the Accessory terminal on the fuse block or ignition switch, so that your CB automatically goes off when the ignition goes off.

B. Then tightly connect the ground (BLACK WIRE) directly to the vehicle's metal frame. A good direct metal-to-metal ground is essential for optimum performance.

Mounting the Main Unit

Step 1: Loosen the retaining knobs on each side of the mounting bracket to give enough space for the unit to slide between the two bracket arms.

Step 2: Position the main unit between the bracket arms in line with the retaining knobs. Set the height and angle for optimum operating comfort and accessibility.

Step 3: Tighten the retaining knobs.

Installation of Microphone Hanger

Mounting holes are provided on the microphone hanger bracket. The bracket can be attached to the vehicle dash or other convenient location.
