Using the CB as a
Base Station
Caution: Most 12-volt DC power supplies plug into a standard AC out- let to produce DC power. Before con- necting your CB to a 12-volt DC power supply, read and follow the in- structions provided with the power supply.
1.Connect the CB’s red wire, with in-line fuse, to a source of volt- age that turns on and off with the ignition switch, such as a spare accessory terminal in your vehi- cle’s fuse box.
2.Connect the CB’s orange wire, with in-line fuse, to a source of voltage that supplies constant positive (+) power, or directly to your vehicle’s positive (+) bat- tery terminal. This connection is for memory back-up.
3.Connect the CB’s black wire to
your vehicle battery’s negative (–) terminal, or a metal part of the vehicle’s frame that is not insulated from the frame by a plastic part
