CONNECTING
OPTIONAL SPEAKERS
You can connect your transceiver to an
external CB speaker and/or a PA (pub-
lic address) speaker.
Note: When you connect an external
or PA speaker, the CB’s internal
speaker disconnects.
Using an External CB
Speaker
The external speaker you use with the
transceiver should have an impedance
of 8 ohms and be able to handle 3 to 10
watts of power, such as RadioShack
Cat. No. 21-549. The speaker cable
must have a
1
/
8
-inch plug.
To connect the external speaker to the
transceiver, insert the speaker cable’s
plug into the
EXT SPKR
jack on the
back of the CB.

Connecting a PA Speaker
The PA speaker should have an im-
pedance of 8 ohms and be able to han-
dle at least 5 watts of power, such as
any of the RadioShack Powerhorn
®
se-
ries speakers. The speaker cable must
have a
1
/
8
-inch plug.
If your PA speaker does not already
have a
1
/
8
-inch plug, we recommend
connecting the PA speaker with a
phono plug-to-wire cable, available at
your local RadioShack store.
To connect the PA speaker to the
transceiver, insert the speaker cable’s
plug into the
PA SPKR
jack on the back
of the CB.
Note: The speaker should be at least 6
feet from the CB.
