Installation; Power Supply; Installing An Antenna - Midland M 20 Handbuch

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. Tighten the retaining screws.

POWER SUPPLY

Be sure the transceiver is OFF. In the direct-voltage power supply, it is very im-
portant 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 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 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 pro-
per antenna. A periodical control of the cable and of the S.W.R. is recommended.
