MOUNTING THE
MICROPHONE HOLDER
You can mount the microphone holder on ei-
ther side of the CB or at another location
near your receiver.
Warning: Do not mount the CB microphone
holder where it could damage or interfere
with the operation of any passive restraint
safety device (an air bag or seat belt).
To mount the holder to either side of the CB,
use the two supplied
1 / 8 -inch (3-mm)
tapered-tip screws, plain washers, and
spring washers (as shown) to secure the
holder.
To mount the holder near the receiver in an-
other location in your vehicle (such as a
dashboard), or somewhere in your home or
office, such as a nearby wall, follow these
steps.
1. Using the holder as a template, mark the
positions for the screw holes at the
desired location.
2. At each marked position, drill a pilot hole
slightly smaller than the mounting
screws.
Caution: Be careful not to drill into any-
thing behind the mounting surface.
3. Mount the holder using the machine
screws, spring washers, plain washers
and nuts.
Note: If you cannot reach behind the mount-
ing surface to attach the nuts to the machine
screws, use the two supplied
1 / 8 -inch (3-mm)
tapered-tip screws and plain washers.
MOUNTING THE CB
The most common mounting location for this
CB is under a vehicle’s dashboard. However,
if you use the CB as a base station in your
home or office, you can place it on a desk,
shelf, or table (see “Using the CB as a Base
Station” on Page 7).
If you are mounting the CB in a vehicle,
choose a location where:
• you can easily reach the CB
• wires and cables are clear of the vehi-
cle’s pedals and other moving parts
• the CB is not directly in front of heating
vents
• all wires and cables can reach their con-
nection point
