Warning: If you use the CB in a vehicle, mount it securely to avoid damage to the CB or vehicle or injury to passengers.

Follow these steps to mount the CB using the supplied hardware.

1.Using the mounting bracket as a tem- plate, mark the positions for the screw holes on the mounting surface.

2.In each marked location, drill a pilot hole slightly smaller than the two 1/5-inch (5-mm) mounting screws.

Caution: Be careful not to drill into objects behind the mounting surface.

3.Mount the bracket to the mounting sur- face with the 1/5-inch (5-mm) mounting screws, spring washers, plain washers, and nuts.

Mounting

Surface

Note: If you cannot reach behind the mounting surface to attach the nuts on the bolts, use the 1/5-inch (5-mm) tapered-tip screws and plain washers to secure the bracket.

4.Attach the CB to the mounting bracket using the two rubber washers and mounting knobs.

CONNECTING AN ANTENNA

There are many different types of antennas for mobile CBs, each with its own benefits. You can choose one that best fits your needs, available at your local RadioShack store.

Note: If you are using this CB as a base sta- tion, see “Using the CB as a Base Station” on Page 7.

When you choose an antenna, keep in mind that, for the best performance, you should mount the antenna:

as high as possible on your vehicle, home or building

as far as possible from sources of elec- trical noise

as vertically as possible

Once you choose an antenna, follow its mounting instructions. Then route the cable to the CB and connect the cable to ANTEN- NA on the back of the CB.
