How to Install your Midland Mobile CB:
How to Install your Midland Mobile CB:
This transceiver may be installed in any 12-volt negative ground-system car or truck. Most
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.

Where to Locate your CB Transceiver:
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,
supplemental restraint systems (air bags) 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:
Mechanical Mounting:
Step 1: Heeding the caution, use the mounting bracket as a template for marking the loca-
tion of screw holes under the dash. Use an awl, nail or other sharp pointed object
to mark the hole locations.
Step 2: Drill a 1/8” hole for each screw hole in the mounting bracket. Attach the bracket to
the dash with the Phillips head sheet metal screws provided.
Extreme care should be exercised when drilling into the dash to avoid damage to
under-dash electronic ignition, cruise control, instrument and / or accessory
wiring.
Step 3: Position the main unit between the bracket arms in line with the retention knobs.
Set the angle for optimum operating comfort and accessibility.
Step 4: Tighten the retention knobs.
