Caution: Be careful not to drill
into anything behind the mount-
ing surface.

attach the mounting bracket to

CONNECTING AN
ANTENNA
Caution: To prevent damage to your
CB, you must connect an antenna to
the CB before you operate it.
Selecting an Antenna
Although this CB is designed for mo-
bile use, you can also use it as a
base station. When deciding on a
mobile or base-station antenna and
its location, consider these points:
• For the best performance, the
antenna should be vertical and
located as high as possible.
The antenna and antenna cable
should be as far as possible
from sources of electrical noise
(ignition systems, gauges, etc.).
