Where to locate your CB transceiver.
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 or impair access to any controls. Connecting cables must be routed
and secured in such a manner as not to interfere with the operation of the
brake, accelerator or other controls. Interference from either the unit or
connecting cables may contribute to the loss of control of the vehicle.
Mechanical mounting
Note: Extreme care should be exercised when drilling into dash to avoid
damage to under-dash electronic ignition, cruise control, instrument and / or
accessory wiring. Your unit must be mounted so as not to interfere with air
bag (SRS) operation.
Step 1: Heeding the caution, use the mounting bracket as a template for
marking the location of screw holes under the dash. Use an awl, nail or
other sharp pointed object to mark the metal.
Step 2: Drill a 1/8” hole for each screw hole in the mounting bracket. Attach
the bracket to the dash with the 3/8” Phillips machine screws provided.
.
Step 3: Locate and secure the radio into the mounting bracket allowing
working space for later power connections.
Power wiring (negative ground only).
Step 1: If you have not determined whether your vehicle has a negative or
positive ground, do so now. Then disconnect the negative lead from the
battery to prevent short circuits that can occur during wiring.
Step 3: With negative ground, connect the red wire (the one with in-line fuse
holder) to either the ( a ) fuse block radio circuit (filtered), ( b ) cigarette
lighter (unfiltered for noise), or ( c ) directly to the positive post on your
battery.
