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 it is very important to observe the polarity
even if the unit is protected against the accidental inversion:
Red = positive pole (+)
Black = negative pole (-)
INSTALLING AN ANTENNA
1. Place the antenna as high as possible
2. The longer the antenna 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 ROS is recommended.

How to operate with your transceiver
