Alan 199 Instruction Guide | 5
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.
