This transceiver may be installed in any 12-volt negative ground-system car or truck.
Most current U.S. and foreign vehicles use a negative system, but some older models and
some newer large trucks may have a positive ground. Check the requirements for your
vehicle before you begin installation. Generally, you have a negative-ground system if the
minus (-) battery terminal is connected to the motor block. Contact your dealer in the
event you are unable to determine your vehicle's polarity system.
Location
Your new Midland CB is designed to be installed under the dash or vertically on a console
of your vehicle. Safety and convenience are the primary considerations in deciding exactly
where to locate your radio.
Caution: Be sure that the unit is located so that it does not interfere with the driver, sup-
plemental restraint systems (air bags), or impair access to any controls. Connecting
cables must be routed and secured in such a manner as not to interfere with the opera-
tion of the brake, accelerator or other controls. I nterference from either the unit or con-
necting cables may contribute to the loss of control of the vehicle.
Mechanical Mounting
Step 1: Use the mounting bracket as a template for marking the location of screw holes
under the dash. Use a nail or other sharp pointed object to mark the hole locations.
Step 2:
Drill a 1/ 8" hole for each screw hole in the mounting bracket. Attach the bracket
to the dash with the Phillips head sheet metal screws provided.
NOTE: Extreme care
should be exercised w hen drilling into the dash to avoid damage to under-dash
electronic ignition, cruise control, instrument and/ or accessory w iring.
Step 3: Attach removable 3-pin plug-in DC cord to polarized DC jack on the rear of the
transceiver.
Step 4:
Locate and secure the radio into the mounting bracket, allowing working space
for later power connections.
