Midland ALAN 235 ESP D80 Bedienungsanleitung Seite 11

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 sup-
plied 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.
