ANTENNA TUNING INFORMATION
Most antennas are factory tuned, but performance
can usually be improved by slightly lengthening
or shortening the antenna using a Standing Wave
Ratio (SWR) meter (not included). Refer to the
antenna manufacturer's installation manual for
the exact procedure to tune the antenna. You
can purchase an SWR meter, or have your antenna
checked by your CB Dealer's service department.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Once you have properly wired your new CB and
connected the antenna, you are now ready to adjust
your radio for optimum reception and voice trans-
mission.
For proper operation, the radio's microphone must
be connected to the unit. Insert the microphone
plug into the microphone jack (MIC). The plug has
a spring loaded locking pin. When inserting the
plug into the jack, push inward until pin is locked
into place. When removing, hold pin in and
withdraw the plug.
