Welcome to the World of Midland Electronics

Thank you for purchasing the state-of-the-art mobile 1001z CB Radio from Midland.
We are proud to offer you this important piece of communication equipment to help you stay informed.

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

Your new Midland CB is designed to be installed either under the dash or vertically on a console of your vehicle. Safety and convenience are primary considerations in deciding exactly where to locate your radio.
Caution: Be sure the unit is located so 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 to not interfere with the operation of the brake, accelerator or other controls. Interference from either the unit or connecting cables may contribute to loss of control of the vehicle.

Mechanical Mounting

1. Heeding the caution above, use the mounting bracket as a template for marking the
location of screw holes under the dash. Use an awl, nail or other sharp pointed object to mark the hole locations.
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.
3. Position the main unit between the bracket arms in line with the retention knobs. Set
the angle for optimum operating, comfort and accessibility.
4. Tighten the retention knobs.

Power Wiring (negative ground only)

1. If you have not determined whether your vehicle has a negative or positive ground,
do so now. Then disconnect the negative lead from the battery to prevent short circuits that can occur during wiring. Do not connect this transceiver to positive ground electrical systems.
2. With negative ground
A. Connect the positive (RED WIRE with in-line fuse holder) to either the (a) fuse
block, (b) cigarette lighter, or (c) directly to the positive post on your battery. Usually, the fuse block is the most convenient connecting point. It is also possible to connect to the Accessory terminal on the fuse block or ignition switch, so that your CB automatically turns off when the ignition turns off.
B. Tightly connect the ground (BLACK WIRE) directly to the vehicle’s metal frame. A
good direct metal-to-metal ground is essential for optimum performance. Installations using the cigarette lighter socket for power require an extra ground wire from the radio chassis to the vehicle if the radio is not fastened to a grounded part of the vehicle.

Installation of Microphone Hanger

Mounting holes are provided on the microphone hanger bracket. The bracket can be
attached to the vehicle dash, the holes provided on the left side of the radio, or other convenient location.

Antenna

You can choose from two types of mobile CB antennas: full-length whip and loaded
whip - and a variety of mounts (depending on where you locate your antenna). The dealer who sold you your Midland CB can advise which type is best for you.
*Where you locate your antenna does make a difference.*
Some general rules for antenna location that can aid CB performance:
1. Put your mount as high on the vehicle as possible.
The higher the proportion of antenna length that is above the roof, the better.
2. If possible, mount the antenna in the center of whatever surface you choose.
3. Keep antenna cables away from noise sources, such as the ignition system, gauges,
etc.
4. Make sure you have a solid metal-to-metal ground.
5. Exercise care to prevent cable damage.
Essentially, you have ve location choices: the roof, gutter, rear deck, front cowl or
rear bumper. Where you decide to locate your antenna will determine the type of antenna you install. Consult your Midland CB dealer for advice and guidance, and measure your needs against the attributes of the various Midland antenna models available.
