Installation
• a 13.8V DC power supply that supplies
at least 1.5 amps (available from
RadioShack)
Caution: Most 13.8V DC power sup-
plies plug into a standard AC outlet to
produce DC power. Before connecting
your CB to a 13.8V DC power supply,
read and follow the instructions included
with the power supply.
• base station antenna (available from
RadioShack)
• coaxial antenna cable and connector
(available from RadioShack)
Warning: Use extreme caution when you in-
stall 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 the power line, contact with the an-
tenna, mast, cable or guy wires can cause
electrocution and death. Call the power com-
pany to remove the antenna. Do not attempt
to remove it yourself!
Follow these steps to install the CB as a
base station.
1. Mount the base station antenna as
described in its owner’s manual.
2. Connect the antenna to ANTENNA.
3. Connect the CB’s black power wire to
the negative (–) terminal on the DC
power supply.
4. Connect the CB’s red wire to the posi-
tive (+) terminal on the DC power sup-
ply.
5. Connect the DC power supply to a stan-
dard AC outlet.
Cautions:
• To comply with FCC RF exposure com-
pliance requirements, maintain a dis-
tance of at least 20 cm between this
device’s antenna and all persons.
• To prevent damage to the CB, be sure
you connect an antenna and the micro-
phone before you use the CB.
Note: Installation instructions are for satisfy-
ing FCC RF exposure compliance.
