You can power this CB from your vehicle's battery or from AC power.  See
"Using the CB as a Base Station" for AC power connection.

WIRING TO CONNECT TO VEHICLE BATTERY

Follow these steps to power the CB from your battery.

1.  Connect the white BATT (+) wire, with in-line fuse, to your vehicle
    battery's positive (+) terminal or to a point that supplies a constant
    12+ volts, such as the vehicle's cigarette lighter or a point in the
    fuse box.  This white wire supplies power to keep the last used channel
    in memory when you turn off your vehicle.

2.  Connect the black BATT (-) wire to your vehicle battery's negative (-)
    terminal.

3.  Connect the red wire, with in-line fuse, to an accessory terminal or
    source of voltage that turns on and off with the ignition switch.  This
    wire supplies power to operate your CB.

USING THE CB AS A BASE STATION

Although we designed your CB for mobile use, you can also it as a base
station.  For this type of installation, you need the following:

*  12-volt DC power supply (such as Cat. No. 22-120)

*  Base station antenna (such as Cat. No. 21-967).

To use the CB as a base station, do the following:

1.  Mount the antenna as described in its instruction manual.

Warning:  Use extreme caution when you install or remove a basestation CB
antenna.  If the antenna starts to fall, it go.  It could contact overhead
power line, contact with the antenna, mast, cable, or guy wires can cause
electrocution and death.  Call the power company to remove the antenna.  D0
NOT attempt to do so yourself.

2.  Connect the antenna to the ANT jack on the back of the CB.

3.  Connect the red and white power wires to the positive (+) terminal of
    the DC power supply.

4.  Connect the black wire to the negative (-) terminal of the power
    supply.

5.  Connect the DC power supply to a standard 120 V AC outlet.
