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 base station installation, you
need these items:
• a 13.8-volt DC power supply that
can supply at least 1.5 amps (such
as Cat. No. 22-504)
Caution:
Most 13.8-volt DC power
supplies plug into a standard AC
outlet to produce DC power. Before
connecting your CB to a 13.8-volt
DC power supply, read and follow
the instructions included with the
power supply.
• base station antenna (such as Cat.
No. 21-989)
• coaxial antenna cable and connec-
tor (available at your local Ra-
dioShack store)
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, ca-
ble, or guy wires can cause electrocu-
tion and death. Call the power company
to remove the antenna. Do not attempt
to do so yourself!
Follow these steps to install the CB as a
base station.
Mount the base station antenna as de-
scribed in its owner’s manual.
1. Connect the antenna to the
ANTENNA jack on the back of the
CB.
2. Connect the transceiver’s black
power wire to the negative (–) termi-
nal on the DC power supply.
3. Connect the transceiver’s red wire
(with the in-line fuse) to the positive
(+) terminal on the DC power supply.
4. Connect the DC power supply to a
standard AC outlet.
Caution:
To prevent damage to the CB,
be sure you connect both an antenna
and the microphone before you use the
CB.
