Installation Instructions

Before installation, check the radio and all its accessories. Power the radio using the lighter plug included in the package. The radio must be powered at 12V or 24V DC. The fuse mounted on the power cord protects the radio against damage caused by technical defects or wrong polarity. If the fuse is burned, first remove the cause and then replace it using the F5A 250V type. Check the correctness of the connections before starting the radio. Make sure there is no risk of short circuiting.

Home Use

Use the radio at home with a stable power supply capable of supplying at least 3A at 12V/24V. Unstable voltage sources or battery chargers are not recommended as it can cause damage. Connect the red wire to the positive terminal (+) and the black wire to the negative terminal (-) of the power supply.

Antenna Installation

Connect the CB antenna to the antenna connector on the rear panel of the radio. The antenna must be tuned for the CB band. Use an S-meter for this. For good communication distance, the SWR must be less than 2. A high SWR value may damage the antenna or the cable or it may short circuit the antenna connectors. Never transmit without an antenna. The antenna must be mounted away from other antennas or sources of interference. The CB antenna is usually mounted on the highest point of the vehicle on a metal surface. A larger metal surface is essential for the operation of the antenna. For installation on fiberglass or plastic cabs, use special antennas.
