You can attach the microphone holder horizontally or 
vertically to either side of your CB.

To attach the microphone holder somewhere else, follow 
these steps.

1. Use the microphone holder as a template to mark the 

positions for the mounting screws at the desired 
mounting location.

2. Drill a hole at the marked position. Do not drill into 

anything behind the mounting surface.

3. Attach the microphone holder to the mounting surface 

using the supplied (small)  machine screws and 
lockwashers.

THE

 CB

Find a convenient location in your vehicle to mount your CB. 
If you are uncomfortable mounting the CB yourself, consult 
with your vehicle service center or automotive dealer for 
assistance. 

Select a mounting location where:

• you can easily reach the CB.

• wires and cables are clear of the vehicle’s pedals or 

other moving parts.

• the CB is not directly in front of heating vents.

• all wires and cables can reach their connection points.

1. Use the mounting bracket as a template to mark the 

positions for the screws on the mounting surface.
