INSTALLATION
Safety and convenience are the primary considerations for mounting any pie-
ce of mobile equipment. All controls must be readily available to the operator
without interfering with the movements necessary for safe operation of the
vehicle. Be sure all cables are clear of the brake, clutch and accelerator. Also,
thought must be given to the comfort of passengers.

Another extremely important requirement is the ease of installation and re-
moval for those occasions when you might want to remove the unit for ser-
vice and maintenance.
The most common mounting position for a transceiver is under the dashbo-
ard directly over the drive shaft hump. Do not mount the transceiver in the
path of the heater or air conditioning. Take your time and plan your installa-
tion carefully. When you have determined the best location for mounting, use
the mounting bracket as a template to mark mounting holes.

Take care when you drill the holes that you do not drill into wiring, trim or
other accessories.
Mount in position with bolts, lock washers and nuts or self-threading screws.
You can install this transceiver in any location where 12-13.8 V DC power is
available. It can be connected to negative ground system. Just be sure you
connect the RED wire to the (+) terminal and the BLACK wire to the (-) termi-
nal. Connect the RED wire (with in-line fuse holder) to the accessory terminal
on the ignition switch of your vehicle. Make a good mechanical and electrical
connection to the frame of the vehicle for the black wire. You can use an auto
accessory lighter plug, available on the CB market, to connect your transcei-
ver to the vehicle's cigarette lighter cord. However, is better to connect the DC
power cord directly to the accessory terminal of the ignition switch.This will
prevent unauthorized use of the transceiver, and will also prevent you from
leaving it on unitentionally. Before operation, you must install and connect
your antenna system.The lead from the antenna you've installed should be
connected to the antenna coaxial connector. If you are using an external spe-
aker, connect it to the EXT-SPKR jack.
REPLACING FUSE
If you replace the fuse for DC Power Cord, use 2 A type (the one supplied as
spare). Hold the fuse holder and press on the inside, then rotate the holder.
