Antenna Connection - Midland M-Mini Manual Del Usuario

Car Operation
The red wire of the power cable must be connected to the positive terminal (+12 V),
the black wire to the negative terminal. If possible the radio should be connected
directly to the vehicle battery, because this is the point with the least interference
from the car's electrical system. The device can also be connected behind the igni-
tion switch. All settings of the M-MINI are stored in a nonvolatile memory.
Operation with AC Adapter
Operate your radio only at a stabilized radio power supply, which is capable to provi-
de at least 2A at 12 -13.8V DC. Unregulated power supplies or battery chargers are
unsuitable and can cause damage. Connect the red lead to the positive (+) terminal
of the power supply, the black wire to the negative (-) terminal of the power supply.

ANTENNA CONNECTION

Connect the CB antenna to the ANT socket on the back of your M-MINI. The
antenna must be tuned to the CB radio band. For this use a SWR meter. For a
good radio range, the SWR should not exceed a value of 2. A high SWR also points
to defects in antenna, cable, or a short circuit in the antenna line. Never transmit
without connected antenna!
Note: The radio antenna is to be mounted from other antennas and interference sources
as much as possible. CB antennas must be mounted usually in the vehicule highest part
on a metal surfaces. A sufficiently large metal surface is essential for the function of the
antenna. For installation on a fiberglass cabs or plastic wind deflectors, special ground
less antennas can be used.
