Connecting the Antenna

Connect the CB antenna plug to the Antenna Connector on the rear panel.  (For
more information on antenna installation, please refer to the instruction guide that
came with your antenna.)

CB Antenna Tips

●

A vertically polarized quarter-wavelength whip antenna provides the most
reliable operation and greatest range. The shorter loaded type whip
antennas are more attractive and compact than the larger full quarter-
wavelength whip. Although the reduced height decreases possible
clearance problems, the shorter antennas may not provide the same
transmitting and receiving range possible with the longer ones.

●

A 3-way combination antenna allows you to operate all three bands (AM,
FM, and CB) with one antenna. However, it will provide a shorter
transmitting and receiving range than a standard “single band” antenna
designed for CB use only. You may also notice a higher SWR with this type
of antenna.

Connecting an External Speaker (Optional)

Connect an optional external speaker to the External Speaker Jack on the rear of
the transceiver. For the external speaker, use an 8W speaker with at least a 4-watt
rating. When connected, the external speaker automatically disables the internal
speaker. The external speaker will provide high performance remote receiver
monitoring.

Connecting a Public Address (PA) Speaker (Optional)

Connect an optional Public Address speaker to the PA Speaker Jack on the back of
the transceiver.  For the PA speaker, use an 8W speaker with at least a 4-watt rating.
Be sure the PA speaker is directed away from the microphone to avoid acoustic
feedback.  When you are operating the PA system with high output level, greater
separation and  isolation between the microphone and PA speaker may be required
to prevent feedback.  When this unit is used as a public address system, set the
CB/PA Switch to the PA position.

MOUNTING THE RADIO TO THE BRACKET

1. Align the mounting holes on both sides of the radio with the holes on the

mounting bracket.

2. Insert the mounting knobs and tighten the knobs until the radio 

is secure.

To avoid damaging the radio casing, do not overtighten
the knobs.
