Although this transceiver is designed mainly for mobile use, 
you can also use it as a base station with an AC power 
source.

For base station installation, you need these items:

• 13.8-volt DC power supply that can supply at least 2 

amps

• base station antenna.

• coaxial antenna cable and connectors, available at your 

RadioShack store. 

For the best performance, place the antenna as far as the 
cable length.

Use extreme caution when you 
install or remove a base station 
CB antenna. If the antenna starts 
to fall, let it go! It could contact 
overhead power lines. If the 
antenna touches a power line, 
contact with the antenna, mast, 
cable, or guy wires can cause 
electrocution and death. Call the 
power company to remove the 
antenna. Do not attempt to do so 
yourself!

Installation and Operation 
instructions are for satisfying 
FCC RF Exposure compliance.

To receive very weak signals, 
turn SQUELCH 
counterclockwise. You hear 
noise between transmissions, 
but you also hear weak 
transmissions (those not strong 
enough to break through a 
higher squelch setting).

If you experience interference 
from nearby frequencies, turn 
RF GAIN counterclockwise to 
reduce the receiver’s sensitivity.
