How to install your C-Five

Check the requirements for your vehicle before you begin installation.
Generally, you have a negative-ground system if the minus(-) battery terminal
is connected to the motor block. Contact your dealer in the event you are
unable to determine your vehicle’s polarity system.
Where to locate your CB radio.
Your new CB radio is designed to be installed under the dash or vertically on a
console of your vehicle.
Safety and convenience are the primary consideration in dealing exactly
where to locate your radio.
Caution : Be sure that the unit is located so that it does not interfere with the
driver, supplemental restraint systems (air bags) or impair access to any
controls. Connecting cables must be routed and secured in a manner as not to
interfere with the operation of the brake, accelerator or other controls.
Interference from either the unit or connecting cables may contribute to the

loss of control of the vehicle.
Power wiring (negative ground only)
Step 1 : If you have not determined whether your vehicle has a negative or
positive ground, do so now. Then disconnect the negative lead from the
battery to prevent short circuits theat can occur during wiring. Do not connect
this radio to positive ground electrical systems.
Step 2 : With negative ground
A. Connect the positive (RED WIRE) the one with in-line fuse holder to either
the (a) fuse block, (b) cigarette lighter, or (c) directly to the positive post on
your battery.
Usually, the fuse block is the most convenient connecting point. It is also
possible to connect to the Accessory terminal on the fuse block or ignition
switch, so that your CB automatically goes off when the ignition goes off.
B. Tightly connect the ground (BLACK WIRE) directly to the vehicle’s metal
frame. A good direct metal-to-metal ground is essential for optimum

performance.
Installations using the cigarette lighter socket for power require an extra
ground wire from the radio chassis to the vehicle if the radio is not fastened
to a grounded part of the vehicle.
Mechanical mounting.
Step 1 : Heeding the caution, use the mounting bracket as a template for
marking the location of screw holes under the dash. Use an awl, nail or other
sharp pointed object to mark the hole locations.
Step 2 : Drill a 3.2 mm diameter hole for each screw hole in the mounting
bracket. Attach the bracket to the dash with metal screws provided.
Extreme care should be exercised when drilling into the dash to avoid
damage to under-dash electronic ignition, cruise control, instrumental and/ or
accessory wiring.
Step 3 : Position the main unit between the bracket arms in line with the
retention knobs, Set the angle for optimum operating comfort and accessibility.

Step 4 : Tighten the retention knobs
External speaker
Fully insert the plug of external speaker into the jack (EX. SP) on the back of
the radio as below.
Antenna :

How to select, position, install and tune the right one for you.
Basically, you may choose from two types of mobile CB antennas-full-length
whip and loaded whip- and a variety of mounts (depending on where you locate your
antenna).
The dealer who sold you your CB radio can advise which type is best for you.
Where you locate your antenna does make a difference.
Some general rules for antenna location that can aid CB performance :
1. Put your mount as high on the vehicle as possible.
2. If possible, mount the antenna in the center of whatever surface you choose.
3. Keep antenna cables away from noise sources, such as the ignition system,
gauges, etc.
4. Make sure you have a solid metal-to-metal ground.
5. Exercise care to prevent cable damage.
Essentially, you have five location choices : the roof, gutter, rear deck, front cowl or

rear bumper. Where you decide to locate your antenna will determine the type of
antenna you install. Again consult your CB radio dealer for advice and guidance.
Antenna installation.
Follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions carefully.
Warning : Never operate your CB radio without attaching an antenna or with a
broken antenna cable. This will result in damage to transmitter circuitry.
Safety notice : The antenna used for this radio must be installed to provide a
separation distance of at least 20cm (8 in.) from all persons and must not be co-
located or operating in conjunction with any antenna or transmitter.
Tuning your antenna.
Some antennas are factory tuned. However, performance can usually be improved by
slightly lengthening or shortening the antenna using a Standing Wave Ratio (SWR)
meter. For the exact procedures to be used, refer to the antenna manufacturer’s
installation manual.
Factors affecting CB range
Essentially, they are the same influences that optimize or limit AM and FM broadcast

signals.
Terrain : Hills, valleys and building naturally interrupt and shorten CB signals. In short,
anything that is between you and the person you want to talk to can shorten your CB
range. You can expect to maintain maximum transmitting/receiving performance in
flat, open country.
Weather : You can expect that CB range will be reduced – perhaps drastically – in
times of atmospheric disturbance, such as in a thunderstorm or heavy snow.
Sunspots too are known to adversely affect CB performance.
Noise :
A common source of excessive noise is the ignition system. In many vehicles today
the electric fuel pump is another possible source of noise. If you suspect this is true,
turn off the ignition. With the CB in receive mode the noise is no longer present this is
a source of the noise. In some cases the noise can be reduced or eliminated by
making sure the CB radio chassis is grounded. This is in addition to the power cord.
In extreme cases, additional grounding of components may be necessary.
