Step 1: If you have not determined whether your vehicle has a   

 negative or positive ground, do so now. Then disconnect 

     the negative lead from the battery to prevent short
     circuits that can occur during wiring. Do not connect this       

 transceiver to positive ground electrical systems.

Step 2: With negative ground:
          A. Connect the positive (RED WIRE) the one with  

            in-line fuse holder to either the

   

( a ) fuse block

   

( b ) cigarette lighter or

   

( c ) directly to the positive post on your battery.

     Usually, the fuse block is the most convenient connecting    

 point. It is also possible to connect to the accessory 

     terminal on the fuse block or ignition switch, so that your    

 CB automatically goes off when the ignition goes off.

            B. Then tightly connect the ground (BLACK WIRE)    

           directly to the vehicle’s metal frame.  A good direct 

               metal-to-metal ground is essential for optimum      

           performance.

Step 1: Loosen the retaining knobs on each side of the 
     mounting bracket to give enough space for the unit to slide    

 between the two bracket arms.

Step 2: Position the main unit between the bracket arms in     

 line with the retaining knobs. Set the height and angle for  
 optimum operating comfort and accessibility.

Step 3: Tighten the retaining knobs.

   Mounting holes are provided on the microphone hanger bracket.    

 The bracket can be attached to the vehicle dash or other 

     convenient location.

    Basically, you may choose from two types of mobile CB       
    antennas - full-length whip and loaded whip - and a 

variety of mounts (depending on where you locate your 
antenna). Midland markets a line of high-performance 
antennas. Visit our website at www.midlandradio. com 
to check out the selection.

   Some general rules for antenna location that can aid CB 

performance:

   1. Put your mount as high on the vehicle as possible.
      The higher the proportion of antenna length that is      

  above the roof, the better.

   2. If possible, mount the antenna in the center of whatever   

   surface you choose.

   3. Keep antenna cables away from noise sources such as  

  the ignition system, gauges, etc.

   4. Make sure you have a solid metal-to-metal ground.
   5. Exercise care to prevent cable damage.

   Essentially, you have five location choices: the roof, gutter, 

rear deck, front cowl or rear bumper. Where you decide 
to locate your antenna will determine the type of antenna

    

needed.

  Follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions carefully.
  -Warning:  Never operate your CB radio without 
    attaching an antenna or with a broken antenna cable. This 

will result in damage to transmitter circuitry.

  -Safety notice:  The antenna used for this radio must be 

installed to provide a separation distance of at least 

34 

cm (

14 in.) from all persons and must not be collocated

    or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or 

transmitter.

    Some antennas are factory tuned. However, performance 

can usually be improved by slightly lengthening or shorte-
ning its length, using a Standing Wave Radio (SWR) meter.

    For the exact procedures to be used refer to the antenna 

manufacturer’s installation manual.
