Major 9001z FeaturesInstallation
This transceiver may be installed in any 12-volt negative
ground-system car or truck. Most current U.S. and Foreign
vehicles use a negative system, but some older models
and some newer large trucks may have a positive ground.
Check the requirements for your vehicle before you begin
installation. Generally, you have a negative-ground system if
the minus (-) battery terminal is connected to the motor
block. Contact your dealer in the event you are unable to
determine your vehicle’s polarity system.
Location
Your new Midland CB is designed to be installed under the
dash or vertically on a console of your vehicle. Safety and
convenience are the primary considerations in deciding
exactly where to locate your radio.
Caution: Be sure that the unit is located so that it does
not interfere with the driver, supplemental restraint
systems (air bags), or impair access to any controls.
Connecting cables must be routed and secured in such a
manner as not to interfere with the operation of the brake,
accelerator or other controls. Interference from either
the unit or connecting cables may contribute to the loss of
control of the vehicle.
Mechanical Mounting
Step 1: Plug power cable into back of radio marked
“Power”. Be sure to observe polarity markings.
Step 2: Use the mounting bracket as a template for
marking the location of screw holes under the dash. Use
a nail or other sharp pointed object to mark the hole
locations.
Step 3: Drill a ‘1/8” hole for each screw hole in the
mounting bracket. Attach the bracket to the dash with the
Phillips head sheet metal screws provided.
NOTE: Extreme care should be exercised when
drilling into the dash to avoid damage to under-
dash electronic ignition, cruise control, instrument
and/ or accessory wiring.
Step 4: Attach removable 3-pin plug-in DC cord to polari-
zed DC jack on the rear of the transceiver.
Step 5: Locate and secure the radio into the mounting
bracket, allowing working space for later power
connections.
