MOBILE STATION INSTALLATION 

1. Select a location that is convenient for operating the radio, but

does not interfere with the driver or passenger. 

2. Install bracket with self-tapping screws provided.

3. Connect wiring. (See instructions for Connecting the Power Cords).

4. Attach the microphone bracket to the side of the radio.

5. Attach radio to bracket.

MOBILE STATION ANTENNA

Because the maximum power output of the transmitter is limited by the
FCC, the quality of your antenna is very important. To achieve the
maximum transmission distance, we strongly recommend that you install
only a high quality antenna. You have just purchased a superior transceiver
- don't diminish its performance by installing an inferior antenna.

Only a properly matched antenna system will allow maximum power
transfer from the 50 ohm transmission line to the radiating element. 
Your 

Uniden

dealer is qualified to help you select the proper antenna 

for your requirements. A whip style antenna may be used for 
automobile installation.

A short ‘loaded’ whip antenna is easier to install on 
an automobile. However, the efficiency of the short 
whip antenna is less than that of a full quarter-wave 
whip antenna.

MARINE INSTALLATION

Consult your dealer for information regarding marine installation. It is
important to adequately ground the system and to prevent electrolysis
between the fittings in the hull and the water.

Plan the location of the transceiver and
microphone bracket before beginning installation.
