INSTALLATION
Safety and convenience are the primary consideration for mounting any piece of
mobile equipment. All controls must readily available to the operator without interfe-
ring with the movements necessary for safe operation of the vehicle. Set the proper
position in the car to install the transceiver using the supplied supporting bracket or
eventually the slide bracket. Tighten the retaining screws. The fixing bracket must
be close to metallic parts.

POWER SUPPLY

Be sure the transceiver is OFF. In the direct-voltage power supply, is very important
to observe the polarity even if the unit is protected against the accidental inversion:
Red = positive pole (+)
Black = negative pole (-)
The same colors are present on the battery and in the fuse box of the car. Correctly
connect the cable terminal to the battery.
ATTENTION
To obtain best performances we recommend to install the radio in a place with
enough air circulation.

INSTALLING AN ANTENNA

1. Place the antenna as high as possible
2. The longer the antenna, the better will be the performance
3. If possible, mount the antenna in the center of whatever surface you choose
4. Keep antenna cable away from noise sources, such as the ignition switch,
gauges,etc.
5. Make sure you have a solid metal-to-metal ground connection.
6. Prevent cable damage during antenna installation.
WARNING: To avoid damage, never operate your CB radio without connecting a
proper antenna. A periodical control of the cable and of the S.W.R. is recommen-
ded.
