Radio Shack 21-1679 A manual Connecting Your CB Radio, Installing the Antenna, Safety Precaution

Connecting Your CB Radio

Installing the Antenna

To install the supplied antenna, align the two slots on the antenna connector with the tabs on the BNC connector of the CB radio. Push the antenna connector to the CB radio and rotate the antenna connector clockwise until it locks into place.

Installing an Optional Antenna

The CB’s BNC connector allows you to use a variety of optional antennas, including external mobile antennas and outdoor base station antennas.

Always use the 50-ohm, RG-58, or RG-8 coaxial cable to connect an outdoor antenna. If the antenna is over 50 feet from the CB radio, use the RG-8 low-loss dielectric coaxial cable.

Safety Precaution:

If an outside antenna is installed, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. When installing the antenna, be careful not to touch overhead power lines as contact with them might be fatal.

Connecting an External Speaker or Microphone

Connect an external speaker (not included) to the SPK jack of your CB radio. This mutes the CB’s internal speaker.

Connect an external microphone (not included) to the MIC jack of your CB radio. This disables the CB’s internal microphone.
