Usually the internal fuse box is the most
convenient connecting point. You may wish
to connect the red lead wire to the accessory
terminal on the engine fuse block or in the
ignition switch so your CB radio will automati-
cally turn off when the ignition is disengaged,
preventing any accidental battery drainage.
4) Connect the black lead wire to the metal
chassis of the vehicle. For the best connection,
remove any paint from the grounding point. A
good, direct metal-to-metal ground is essential
for best performance.
5) Replace the fuse into the white casing on the
MCB-10A DC power cord.
Antenna Installation
Your Maxon MCB-10A requires a mobile mount
antenna for operation. Because of varying vehicle
applications, individual needs and owner cost
preferences, an antenna is not included with
your MCB-10A.
Maxon's model WTA-4WP mobile mount antenna
may be obtained from a local Maxon CB distributor,
or you may use any standard 50 Ohm mobile mount
CB antenna with a PL-259 connector.
NOTE: Please carefully follow the antenna manu-
facturer's installation instructions. Never operate
your CB radio without an antenna or with a broken
antenna cable. Doing so could cause internal
damage to the CB circuitry. Always:
Connect the antenna securely at the antenna
