Connecting an Antenna

Once you choose an antenna, follow

the mounting instructions supplied

with it. Then route the antenna cable

to the CB and connect the cable to

the

ANTENNA

jack on the back of the

CB.

Cautions:

• Do not run the cable over sharp

edges or moving parts.

• Do not run the cable next to

power cables or other CB

antenna cables.

• Do not run the cable through a

vehicle’s engine compartment or

other areas that produce

extreme heat.

USING VEHICLE

BATTERY POWER

You can power this CB from your ve-

hicle’s battery or from standard AC

power with an optional DC power

supply. For information on using AC

power, see “Using the CB as a Base

Station.”

Follow these steps to power the CB

from your vehicle’s battery.

1. Connect the CB’s black wire to

your vehicle battery’s negative

(

–

) terminal or to a metal part of

the vehicle’s frame that is not

insulated from the frame by a

plastic part.

2. Connect the CB’s red wire, with

in-line fuse, to a source of volt-

age that turns on and off with the

ignition switch, such as a spare

accessory terminal in your vehi-

cle’s fuse box.

USING THE CB AS A

BASE STATION

Although this CB is designed for mo-

bile use, you can also use it as a

base station. To do so, you need the

following items.

• 12-volt DC power supply (such

as Cat. No. 22-120)

Caution:

Most 12-volt DC power

supplies plug into a standard AC

outlet to produce DC power.

Before connecting your CB to a

12-volt DC power supply, read

and follow the instructions pro-

vided with the power supply.
