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.Plug-in
the 12V power cord into the cigarette lighter plug. Connect the RED wire to the
(+) terminal and the BLACK wire to the (-) terminal. 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. 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 speaker, connect it to the EXT-SPKR
jack.

Replacing fuse

Replace the fuse with a similar one with a value of 2A min.

Antenna connection

Connect the CB antenna to the ANT socket on the back of ALAN 100 PLUS B.
The antenna must be tuned to the CB radio band. For this use a SWR meter. For a
good radio range, the SWR should not exceed a value of 2. A high SWR also points
to defects in antenna, cable, or a short circuit in the antenna line.
Never transmit without connecting the antenna!
Note: The radio antenna is to be mounted from other antennas and interference
sources as much as possible. CB antennas must be mounted usually in the vehicule
highest part on a metal surfaces. A sufficiently large metal surface is essential for the
function of the antenna. For installation on a fiberglass cabs or plastic wind deflectors,
special ground less antennas can be used.

Base station antenna

While your transceiver is designed for mobile operation, you might
wish to use it as a base station unit, in conjunction with a 12 - 13.8 V
2 A DC power supply. If you decide to use your transceiver as a base
station, choose an antenna designed to operate most efficiently as a
base station antenna. For example, the 1/2 wave antenna is a high-
efficiency radiator with omnidirectional characteristics. It performs
as well in most applications as does the ground plane. You can use
this type of antenna for medium-long range communications.
