ANTENNA INSTALLATION

Before using this radio, please install a high efficent and harmonious adjusted CB antenna, suitable antenna type and correct installation will bring excellent communication.

To match with the radio, the antenna and cable shall with characteristic impedance of 50ohm, or the antenna system will not efficient enough and will disturb TV, radio or other electronics.

  1. Screw the antenna connector into the antenna jack.

  2. Grounding the antenna system to ensure best performance of this radio.
    ANTENNA INSTALLATION
    WARNING:

    • Connect antenna firstly before transmiting, or it might damage the radio.
    • To avoid the risk of fire, electric shock, radio damage, all base station shall equip of lightning protector
    • Be sure choose a matching antenna, you may enquiry our dealers.
  3. The position of antenna can be put as following example:
    ANTENNA INSTALLATION

POWER CONNECTION

This radio adopt 13.8V power supply, never connect it to 24V battery, And the 13.8V car battery shall with sufficient current, or the LCD will become dark and Transmit power will drop down.

  1. Connect positive red power cable with the + terminal of the battery.
  2. Connect negative black power cable with the – terminal of the battery.
  3. Connect the DC power cable to the transceiver’s power supply connector.
    • We suggest not use cigar lighter as it often bring down the voltage.
    • Locate the power cable away from high temperature, moisture, portfire  and cable insulator.
    • Use a full power cable even it is longer than need, do not take off the fuse holder from the cable.
      POWER CONNECTION

Replacing Fuse

This radio adopt 10A, 250V fuse.
If the fuse blows, determine the reason, then correct the problem.
After the problem is resolved, replace the fuse. If newly installed fuses continue to blow, disconnect the power cable and contact your autho-rized dealer or an authorized servicecenter:

  1. Pull the two fuse cover in difference direction and open it.
    Replacing Fuse

  2. Replace the broke fuse with good one, and close the fuse holder.

  3. Be sure to use suggested fuse, or it might damage the radio.
    Replacing Fuse

Install Microphone Hanger
