Installation Installation Location Location Plan location of transceiver and microphone bracket before starting the installation. FCC ID:BBO3K229LTD COBRA ANT EXT MIC EXT. PTT EXT.SP. +POWER– MADE IN CHINA Select a location that is convenient for operation, yet does not interfere with the driver or passenger. USB The transceiver is usually mounted to the underside of the dash with the microphone bracket beside it.

Installation Installation Note Before installing the CB radio, visually check the vehicle’s battery connection to determine which terminal, positive or negative, is grounded (positive is the larger of the two) to the engine block (or chassis). A negatively grounded vehicle has its negative lead grounded to the chassis. FCC ID:BBO3K229LTD COBRA EXT MIC EXT. PTT EXT.SP. +POWER– USB Note 6 Plug power cable into back of unit marked “Power”. Be sure to observe polarity markings.

Antennas Ignition Noise Interference CB Antenna CB Antenna Since the maximum allowable power output of the transmitter is limited by the FCC, the antenna is critical in affecting transmission distance. Only a properly matched antenna system will allow maxiNote mum power output. Cobra loaded type antenna For optimum performance in models are highly recommended for most instalpassenger cars the ideal anten- lations.

Operation Operation Calibrate For SWR (Standing Wave Ratio) Calibrate for SWR (Standing Wave Ratio) PUSH & HOLD SWR calibration is done to properly adjust the length of the antenna and to monitor the quality of the coaxial cable and all RF connections. This calibration is critical in order to achieve optimum performance. Note NB /ANL 2 SWR 1.
