Installation; Power Supply; Installing An Antenna; How To Operate Your Transceiver - Midland 220 Bedienungsanleitung

INSTALLATION

Safety and convenience are the primary considerations 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. Interference from the connecting cables may contribute
to the loss of control of the vehicle.
Set the proper position in the car to install the transceiver using the supplied supporting bracket or
eventually the DIN mounting bracket.
Tighten the retaining screws. The mounting bracket must be close to metallic parts.

POWER SuPPLY

Be sure the transceiver is OFF. In the direct-voltage power supply, it 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 colours are present on the battery and in the fuse box of the car. Correctly connect the
cable terminal to the battery.

INSTALLING AN ANTENNA

1. Place the antenna as high as possible
2. The longer the antenna is, the better will be the performance
3. If possible, mount the antenna in the centre 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 recommended.
