TRC-493  (210-1590)              Power                  Faxback Doc. # 8894

Caution:  Before you make any electrical connections, be sure your vehicle
has a 12-volt DC, negative-ground electrical system.  The transceiver does
not work with other types of systems.

Use the red and black wires on the back of the transceiver for the power
connection.  Follow these steps to connect the transceiver to power.

1.  Connect the red wire (with the inline fuse holder) to a point in your
    vehicle's fuse block that has power only when the ignition is in the
    ACC (accessory) or on position.

2.  Connect the black wire to a metal screw that is attached to the
    vehicle's frame (chassis ground).  Be sure the screw is not insulated
    from the chassis by a plastic part.

USING THE TRANSCEIVER AS A BASE STATION

Although this transceiver is designed mainly for mobile use, you can also
use it as a base station with an AC power source.  For a base station
installation, you need these items.

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

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

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

To use the transceiver as a base station, follow these steps.

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

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

3.  Connect the transceiver's red power wire to the positive (+) terminal
    on the DC power supply.  Connect the transceiver's black power wire to
    the negative (-) terminal on the DC power supply.  Then connect the DC
    power supply to a standard 120V AC outlet.
