MOUNTING THE MICROPHONE HOLDER

You can mount the microphone holder on ei- ther side of the CB or at another location near your receiver.

Warning: Do not mount the CB microphone holder where it could damage or interfere with the operation of any passive restraint safety device (an air bag or seat belt).

To mount the holder to either side of the CB, use the two supplied 1/8-inch (3-mm) tapered-tip screws, plain washers, and spring washers (as shown) to secure the holder.

To mount the holder near the receiver in an- other location in your vehicle (such as a dashboard), or somewhere in your home or office, such as a nearby wall, follow these steps.

1.Using the holder as a template, mark the positions for the screw holes at the desired location.

2.At each marked position, drill a pilot hole slightly smaller than the mounting screws.

Caution: Be careful not to drill into any- thing behind the mounting surface.

3.Mount the holder using the machine screws, spring washers, plain washers and nuts.

Mounting Surface

Note: If you cannot reach behind the mount- ing surface to attach the nuts to the machine screws, use the two supplied 1/8-inch (3-mm) tapered-tip screws and plain washers.

MOUNTING THE CB

The most common mounting location for this CB is under a vehicle’s dashboard. However, if you use the CB as a base station in your home or office, you can place it on a desk, shelf, or table (see “Using the CB as a Base Station” on Page 7).

If you are mounting the CB in a vehicle, choose a location where:

you can easily reach the CB

wires and cables are clear of the vehi- cle’s pedals and other moving parts

the CB is not directly in front of heating vents

all wires and cables can reach their con- nection point
