A negatively grounded vehicle has its negative lead grounded to the chassis. Note 6 . .Plug.power.cable.into.back.of.unit.marked. “Power”...Be.sure.to.observe.polarity.markings. 7 . .Mount.the.microphone. bracket.on.either.side. of.the.unit.(driver’s.left). using.two.screws.supplied..Bracket.should.be. placed.under.the.dash.. so.microphone.is.readily. accessible. Connecting to an accessory fuse prevents the unit from being left on accidentally, and also permits operating the unit without running the engine. 4 Note In positive ground vehicles the red wire goes to the chassis and the black wire is connected to the ignition switch. . .In.a.negative.grounded.vehicle,.connect.the. red.lead.of.the.DC.power.cord.to.an.accessory. 12.volt.fuse.

Note 3-way Combination Antennas are also available which allow operation of all three bands (AM-FM & CB), using a single antenna. However, this type of antenna usually results in less than normal transmit and receive range when compared to a standard-type “Single Band” CB antenna.
