Power the radio with the lighter plug included in the package. The radio must
be powered at 12V or 24V. 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 F3A 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 only with a stable power supply capable of supplying at
least 2A 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 for this an S-meter. For a 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.
Note: 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.
