GENERAL INFORMATION
READ ME FIRST……………………………
Our repair centers from time to time received
products, return for service, but that are
perfectly. It seems that more often than not,
the owner didn’t read the instructions, or
overlooked something. Or perhaps the
problem was merely a blown fuse that the
owner could easily have replaced.
So take an extra few minutes and read this
manual carefully, don’t rush. And be sure you
understand all the basic features of this CB
radio as well as the special ones!
And before you assume your transceiver
needs repair, refer to the service and
maintenance section of this manual to see if
the problem is something you can eliminate.

INSTALLATION
LOCATION
Plan the location of the transceiver and
microphone bracket for convenience and
safety operation are the first considerations
with absolute no interferes to the driver on
driving or the passengers in the vehicle
before starting installation.
In most automobiles, the transceiver is
usually mounted below the dash panel,
with microphone bracket beside it.
DO NOT!Mount the transceiver in the
path of the heater or air conditioning air
stream.
BE SURE!All cables clear of the brake,
clutch and accelerator.
When you have determined the best
location as a template to mark mounting
holes. Take care when you drill holes that
you do not drill into wiring.
WIRING FOR POWER SOURCE
1. Connect the supplied DC cord, with
the fused red wire to +13.8V DC source,
and the black wire to negative –13.8V DC
source in respectively, for most type of
vehicles with negative ground power
system. Thus, back wire may connect to
chaises ground of the vehicle directly.
2. The positive wire should connect to
the spare fuse box terminal directly. Ensure
the space fuse box has no other
applications, and to sure with it’s current
rating not less than 10 Amp.
3. If your spare fuse box has fully
occupied,you may add a new wiring
system with fuse holder at the wire end of
which is closer directly to the battery
positive terminal tag. Other wire end
connectsto the transceiver should have a
terminal block well fixed on the vehicle
chaises.
HINTS:
The independent wiring system, direct
power sourcing from the battery terminal is
the proper way that strongly recommended,
this will help to avoid any interferences
from existing wiring system of the
automobile, and will minimize voltage drop
caused by other circuits in the same wiring
system, thus to provide optimum
performance of your CB radio.
This wiring system is for safety facility to
avoid from overloading of original wiring
system of the automobile, and to minimize
the possibility of interferences to the
electronics or electro-mechanical control
system of the automobile.
Also this allowsyou to keep continued
operation of your transceiver anytime
without starting the engine or to keep turn
on the ignition key.

INSTALLATION Continuation
MOBILE ANTENNA
Mobile Antenna System is not limited to
just the antenna. The transmission line is
the important factors in the total antenna
system. Therefore, you must use the
correct type of transmission line and mount
the antenna securely in a position that will
give you optimal results.
Use Coaxial Cable with an impedance 50
ohms. Suggest type RG-58U/A for lengths
not exceeds 3 meters or RG-8U for longer
length. However, you should keep feeder
length as shorter as possible which in-order
to devoid high attenuation in RX signal
from antenna to the receiver, and TX power
lose from the transmitter to antenna.
Few General Rules should help you install
any mobile antenna properly.
1. Keep it as far as possible from the
main bulk of the vehicle.
2. Keep as much as possible above the
highest point of the vehicle.
3. During operation, it must be vertical,
and rigid enough to remain vertical
when the vehicle or boat is in
motion.
4. Mount it as far as possible from
sources of noise, such as ignition
system, gauges, etc. keep the
antenna feeder away from these
noise sources.
Antenna Locations On Car there are 4
most popular positions shown bellows;
ROOF MOUNT
In this position the antenna radiates equally
in all directions. Since the normal 1/4
wavelength whip antenna is too long 102
inches or 2.6m for roof mounting on a
vehicle, the antenna is shortened and
loading coil is used to provide the loading
coil is used to provide the proper electrical
length, it is strongly recommended.
FRONT COWL MOUNT
The radiation pattern is slightly greater in
the direction of the fender opposition the
side on which the antenna is mounted.
REAR DECK MOUNT
The radiation pattern is strongest in
direction of the front fender opposite the
side on which the antenna is mounted. In
this position you may use a full quarter
wave whip or a shorter loaded whip.
BUMPER MOUNT
The antenna radiates in a pattern directly in
front of and to the rear of the vehicle, with
maximum radiation directly away from the
vehicle in a horizontal plane, despite its
fairly irregular pattern, a bumper mounted
full-length results. Removing the antenna is
simple and will leave no holes in the car.
BASE STATION ANTENNA
If you do decide to use your CB radio as a
base station, choose an antenna designed
to operate most efficiently as a base station
antenna. Use the 1/2 wave antenna or full
wave antenna is a high-efficiency radiator
with omni-directional characteristics. It
delivers stronger TX signal on air by
excellent matching, and with minimum lost
for RX week signal due to right resonance
produce high Q effect.

USING YOUR TRANSCEIVER
SOME HINTS TO HELP YOU ENJOY YOUR CB
lWait for a pause in transmission before asking
for a break.
lIf you don’t receive an answer after a second call
to another station, sign off and allowed others to
use the channel –wait a while ask for a break
and try again.
lDo assist callers with directions, road conditions
or other requested information.
lKeep harassment off the air. This is unnecessary
and causes problems for everyone –including
you.
lBe courteous –tread others the way you wish to
be treated.
lUse the 10-Codes for standard questions and
answers. This use permits faster communication
and better intelligibility in noise.

SERVICE & MAINTENANCE
Your Transceiver has been built in
accordance with factory’s exacting quality
control standard. However, it should be
treated with reasonable car accorded any
electronic equipment. Avoid exposing it to
severe shock, dirt or moisture.
If you run into problems with the unit, we
recommend you check the following;
IF RECEIVING TROUBLE IS
EXPERIENCED… …..
lCheck the volume ON/OFF setting.
lBe sure the SQL control is adjusted
properly. Is it set at deep squelch
status?
lCheck to see if the unit is switched
to an active channel.
lBe sure the microphone plug is
securely in place.
lCheck for improper antenna
connection.
lCheck setting of mode switch in
proper operating mode.
IF TRANSMITTING TROUBLE IS
EXPERIENCED… ….
lCheck it the transmission line is
securely connected to the antenna
connector.
lCheck if the transmission line is
correctly installed for proper
operation.
lAre all transmission line
connections secure and free of
corrosion?
lMake sure the PTT switch on the
microphone is fully depressed.
lCheck abnormal power line source,
should there has voltage drop to
cause abnormal TX output during
PTT switch was on, by observing
dimmed illumination system may
occurs.
IF THE TRANSCEIVER IS
COMPLETELY INOPERATIVE… ….
Check the power cable and inline fuse. If
the fuse is blown replace it only with an
identical rating 2A fuse.
If above checks don’t solve the trouble,
DO NOT attempt repairs or adjustments
yourself. The unit should be service only
by a qualified radio technician, or return
the radio to its services center.
WARNING!
DO NOT OPEN THE TRANSCEIVER TO
MAKE ANY INTERNAL ADJUSTMENTS.
ANY INTERNAL ADJUSTMENTS CAN
BE MADE ONLY BY, OR UNDER THE
DIRECT SUPERVISION OF A PRESON
WITH A RECOGNIZED QUALIFICATION.
INTERNAL ADJUSTMENTS OR
MODIFICATIONS CAN LEAD TO
ILLEGAL OPERATION AS UN–KNOWN
INTERFERENCE SIGNALSMAY
DISTURBOTHER COMMUNICATIONS.
TO BE SAFE AND SURE
lYou should never open the case
of your transceiver.
lNever change or replace
anything in your transceiver.
