A) INSTALLATION
1) WHERE AND HOW TO MOUNT YOUR MOBILE CB RADIO
a)
You should choose the most appropriate setting from a simple
and practical point of view.
b)
Your CB radio should not interfere with the driver or the passengers.
c)
Remember to provide for the passing and protection of different
wires (e.g. power, antenna, accessory cabling) so that they do
not interfere in any way with the driving of the vehicle.
d)
To install your equipment, use the cradle (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.
MOUNTING DIAGRAM
e)
Do not forget to insert the rubber joints (3) between the CB and
its support as these have a shock-absorbing effect which permits
gentle orientation and tightening of the set.
f)
Choose where to place the microphone support and remember
that the microphone cord must stretch to the driver without in-
terfering with the controls of the vehicle.
N.B. : 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 commu-
nications (connector EXT.SP. situated on the back panel: C). Ask
your dealer for advice on mounting your CB radio.
2) ANTENNA INSTALLATION
a)
Choosing your antenna
-
For CB radios, the longer the antenna, the better its results. Your
dealer will be able to help you with your choice of antenna.
b)
Mobile 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.
