Choose the most appropriate location from a simple
and practical point of view. Your radio should not
interfere with the driver or crash the driver's knee or
leg when pushing brake.
1. Using the self-tapping screws and pads(2 sets) to x
the bracket.
2. Put the Non-slip mat on the 2 ends of the bracket and put in the radio. Then insert
the adjusting screws and check careful each screws, make sure the screws and
machine will not loose when the car shaking.
3. Choose suitable angle by the 3 screw holes in the two ends of bracket.

Microphone connection
1. Plug microphone connector into jack.
2. Pull on the screw for microphone connector.
ANTENNA INSTALLATION
POWER CONNECTION
Before using this radio, please install a high efficent and properly adjusted
CB antenna, suitable antenna type and correct installation will provide
excellent communication.
Always use 50 Ohm coaxial cable for a single antenna and 75 Ohm cable for a dual
antenna system. Your antenna system should be 1.5:1 SWR or lower for best
performance. A SWR of 3:1 or higher could damage the transmitter.
1. Screw the antenna connector into the antenna jack.
2. Grounding the antenna system to ensure best performance of this radio.
This radio adopt 13.8V power supply, never connect it to 24V battery, And the 13.8V car
battery shall with sufcient current, or the LCD will become dark and Transmit power
will drop down.
3. The position of antenna can be put as following example:
WARNING:
▲ Always connect the antenna before transmiting, or it might damage the radio.
▲ To avoid the risk of fire, electric shock, radio damage, all base station should

1. Connect positive red power cable with the + terminal of the battery.
2. Connect negative black power cable with the - terminal of the battery.
3. Connect the DC power cable to the transceiver's power supply connector.
▲ If a cigarette lighter is used, use one rated for at least 10 Amps.
▲ Locate the power cable away from high temperature, moisture, portre and cable
insulator.
▲ Use a full power cable even it is longer than need, do not take off the fuse holder
from the cable.

Replacing Fuse
This radio requires a 10A, 250V fuse. NEVER USE A FUSE WITH A HIGHER RATING.
If the fuse blows, determine the reason, then correct the problem.
After the problem is resolved, replace the fuse. If newly installed fuses continue
to blow, disconnect the power cable and contact your authorized dealer or an
