Mounting with the quick fixation clip
d) To install your equipment,
use the quick fixation clip
(1) and the self-tapping
screws [2] provided (drilling
diameter 3.2 mm). Take
care not to damage the
vehicle's electrical system
while drilling the dash
board.
e) Choose where to place
the microphone support
and remember that the
microphone cord must
stretch to the driver without
interfering with the controls
of the vehicle.
f)
Slide the unit into the slide
of the support and fix it by
clipping the side tabs into
the notches of the CB (3).

Note: As the transceiver
has a frontal microphone
socket, it can be set into
the dash board. In this case, you will need to add an
external loud speaker to improve the sound quality of
communications (connector EXT.SP situated on the back
panel: C). Ask your dealer for advice on mounting your
CB radio.

For CB radios, the longer the antenna, the better its results.
Your dealer will be able to help you with your choice of
antenna.
Must be fixed to the vehicle where there is a maximum of
metallic surface (ground plane), away from windscreen
mountings.
If you already have a radio-telephone antenna installed,
the CB antenna should be higher than this.
There are two types of antenna: pre-regulated which
should be used on a good ground plane (e.g. car roof
or lid of the boot), and adjustable which offer a much
larger range and can be used on a smaller ground plane
(see § ADJUSTMENT OF SWR page 42).
For an antenna which must be fixed by drilling, you will
need a good contact between the antenna and the
ground plane. To obtain this, you should lightly scratch
the surface where the screw and tightening star are to
be placed.
Be careful not to pinch or flatten the coaxial cable (as
this runs the risk of break down and/or short-circuiting).
Connect the antenna (B).
