You can attach the microphone holder to either side of the
CB, horizontally or vertically as shown.
To attach the microphone holder somewhere else, follow
these steps.
1. Use the microphone holder as a template to mark the
positions for the screws at the desired location.
2. At the marked positions, drill a hole slightly smaller than
the mounting screws. Do not drill into anything behind
the mounting surface.
3. Attach the microphone holder using the supplied
machine screws and lockwashers.

other moving parts.
