manual abstract
The full 10channel weather receiver allows use on all current and future NOAA weather bureau channels plus Canadian and international channels. The unit incorporates microprocessor controlled PLL circuitry for precise tuning and increased function. Receiver noise and interference can now be largely eliminated by the new ESP2™ noise reduction system. Also included is a backlighted Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) digital information center that out- dates CB’s with LED readouts. How to install your Midland mobile CB This transceiver may be installed in any 12 volt negative ground- system car or truck. Almost all 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. Installation and operating accessories furnished with your Midland CB: 1. Easy removal mounting bracket system. 2. Microphone bracket system. 3. All main-unit and microphone mounting hardware needed for normal installation. 4. Plug-in microphone with coil cord. 5. FCC part 95, Subpart D. 6. Owner’s Manual. 2 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. 3 (Usually, the fuse block is the most convenient connecting point. It is also possible to connect to the Accessory terminal on the fuse block, so that your CB automatically goes off when the ignition goes off, preventing accidental battery drainage.) The orange wire supplies power for the memory retention feature. For the memory retention circuit to operate the orange wire must be connected to power that is not switched off by the ignition switch. The connection point can be directly to the battery or an unswitched fuse on the fuse block. (Usually , the fuse block is the most convenient connecting point. It is also possible to connect the red wire to the Accessory terminal on the fuse block or ignition switch wo that your CB automatically goes off when the ignition goes off, preventing a battery drain.) Note: In many new vehicles the only circuit that has noise filtering is the radio circuit. Then tightly connect the black wire directly to the vehicle’s metal frame. A good direct metal - to - metal ground is essential for optimum performance. Installations using the cigarette lighter socket for power require an extra ground wire from the radio chassis to the vehicle if the radio is not fastened to a grounded part of the vehicle. Step 3: Plug - in the power cord to the receptacle provided on the back of the transceiver. Mounting the main unit. Step 1: Position the main unit between the bracket arms in line with the retention knobs. Set the angle for optimum operating comfort and accessibility. Step 2: Tighten the retention knobs. Installation of microphone hanger. Mounting holes are provided on the microphone hanger bracket. The bracket can be attached to the vehicle dash, or other convenient location.
