Mount in position with bolts, lock washers and nuts or self-threading
screws. You can install this transceiver in any location where 12,6 Vdc ±
10% power is available. It can be connected to negative ground system.
Just be sure you connect the RED wire to the (+) terminal and the BLACK
wire to the (-) terminal.
Connect the RED wire (with in- line fuse holder) to the accessory termi-
nal on the ignition switch of your vehicle. Make a good mechanical and
electrical connection to the frame of the vehicle for the black wire. You
can use an auto accessory lighter plug, available on the CB market, to
connect your Transceiver to the vehicle’s cigarette lighter receptacle. Ho-
wever, is better to connect the DC power cord directly to the accessory
terminal of the ignition switch. This will prevent unauthorized use of the
transceiver, and will also prevent you from leaving it on unintentionally.
Before operation, you must install and connect your antenna system. The
lead from the antenna you’ve installed should be connected to the an-
tenna coaxial connector. If you are using an external speaker, connect it
to the EXT-SPKR jack.
REPLACING FUSE
If you replace the fuse for DC Power Cord, use 2 A type (one supplied
as spare). Hold the fuse holder and press on the inside, then rotate the
holder.
CONNECTING THE MICROPHONE
Your transceiver has a new microphone connector. This ensures that you
won’t accidentally pull out or loosen the plug connection when moving
the microphone cable out.
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 ope-
ration of the vehicle. Be sure all cables are clear of the brake, clutch and
accelerator. Also, thought must be given to the convenience and comfort
of passengers.
Another extremely important requirement is the ease of installation and
removal for those occasions when you might want to remove the unit for
service and maintenance.
The most common mounting position for a transceiver is under the da-
shboard directly over the drive shaft hump. Do not mount the transceiver
in the path of the heater or air conditioning air stream. Take your time
and plan your installation carefully. When you have determined the best
location for mounting, use the mounting bracket as a template to mark
mounting holes. Take care when you drill the holes that you do not drill
into wiring, trim or other accessories.
