The most common mounting location for this CB is under a 
vehicle’s dashboard. However, if you plan to use the CB as 
a base station, you can place it on a desk, shelf, or table 
(see “Using the Transceiver as a Base Station” on Page 6).

If you are mounting the CB in a vehicle, choose a location 
where:

 

• You can easily reach the CB.

• Wires and cables are clear of the vehicle’s pedals or 

other moving parts.

• The CB is not directly in front of heating vents.

• All wires and cables can reach their connection points.

Follow these steps to mount the CB using the supplied 
hardware.

1. Using the mounting bracket as a template, mark the 

positions for the screw holes on the mounting surface.

2. In each marked location, drill a small starter hole.

3. Mount the bracket to the 

mounting surface with the 
supplied 5 mm bolts, spring 
washers, plain washers, and 
nuts. 

4. Peel the backings off the 

adhesive on the back of the 
supplied rubber washers and 
attach the washers to the 
mounting holes on the CB. Then 
attach the CB to the mounting bracket using the 
mounting knobs.

If you use the CB in a vehicle, 
mount it securely to avoid 
damage to the CB or vehicle or 
injury to anyone in the vehicle 
during sudden starts or stops.

Do not mount the CB where it 
could damage or interfere with 
the operation of any passive 
restraint safety device (an 
airbag or seat belt).

If you cannot reach behind the

on the bolts or machine screws, 
use the supplied plain washers and 
self-tapping screws.
