Pow er Wiring ( negative ground only)
Step 1
: I f 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 that can occur during wiring. Do not connect this transceiver to positive ground
electrical systems.
Step 2
: With negative ground:
A. Connect the positive (RED WI RE) 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. I t 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. Then tightly connect the ground (BLACK WI RE) directly to the vehicle's metal frame. A
good direct metal-to-metal ground is essential for optimum performance.
