INSTALLATION
Safety.and.convenience.are.the.primary.consideration.for.mounting.any.piece.of.mobile.
equipment..All.controls.must.be.readily.available.to.the.operator.without.interfering.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,.to.observe.the.polarity.
is.very.important,.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. Connect
correctly.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

. Place.the.antenna.as.high.as.possible.
2. The.longer.is.the.antenna,.the.better.will.be.the.performance.
3. If.possible,.mount.the.antenna.in.the.center.of.whatever.surface.you.choose.
4. Keep the 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.
. Prevent.cable.damage.during.antenna.installation.
WARNING. to avoid damage, never operate your CB radio without connecting a
proper tuned antenna. A periodical control of the SWR is recommended.
