Maintenance
CT3000 is an electronic product of exact design and should be treated with
care. The suggestions here below will help you to fulfill any warranty obligations
and to enjoy this product for many years.
• Do not attempt to open the radio for any reason! The radio’s precision mechanics and electronics require experience and specialized equipment; for
the same reason, the radio should under no circumstances be realigned as
it has been calibrated for maximum performance. Unauthorized opening of
the transceiver will void the warranty.
• Do not store the Radio under the sunshine or in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices, and warp or melt certain
plastics.
• Do not store the radio in dusty and dirty areas.
• Keep the Radio dry. Rainwater or damp will corrode electronic circuits.
• If it appears that the Radio diuses peculiar smell or smoke, please shut o
its power immediately.
• Do not transmit without antenna.
• Do not attempt to configure the transceiver while driving; it is very dangerous.

Installing the radio
Installation
Safety and convenience are the primary considerations for mounting any piece of mobile equipment. All controls must be readily available to the operator
without interfering with the movements necessary for safe operation of the
vehicle. To install the transceiver select a location that will minimize danger to
your passengers and yourself while the vehicle is in motion; the location should
be well-ventilated and shielded from direct sunlight.
1. Install the mounting bracket in the vehicle using the supplied self-tapping
screws and flat washers.
2. Mount the radio onto the bracket into the vehicle using the supplied
screws and tighten them properly considering the vibrations caused by
the vehicle.
Power supply
Be sure the transceiver is o.
On the rear of the radio you will see a bi-color power supply cable with a fuse
holder on the red cable.
This cable is supplied with a connector suitable for the connection to the radio
and vehicle’s battery or to an optional cigarette lighter plug.
In the direct-voltage power supply, it is very important to observe the polarity
even if the unit is protected against the accidental inversion.
Red = positive pole (+)
Black = negative pole (-)
The same colors are present on the battery and in the fuse box of the car.
Correctly connect the cable terminal to the battery.
Be sure to use a 12V vehicle battery that has sucient current capacity. Never
connect the transceiver to a 24V battery.
1. Connect the DC power cable to the regulated DC power supply and en-
sure that the polarities are correct.
2. Connect the DC power cable to the transceiver.
ATTENTION: To obtain best performances we recommend installing the radio in a
position with a good air circulation.
4 | Midland CT3000 instruction guide
Replacing fuses
If the fuse blows, try to find a cause before replacing it. If necessary, contact a
service center for assistance.
The fuse on the rear of the radio has a current rating of 10A
10A 250V FUSE
IN-LINE FUSE HOLDER
Installing the microphone
Plug-in the microphone into the proper socket on the front panel of the radio.
If you prefer, the microphone can also be hung up thanks to its holder supplied
in the package.
Installing an antenna:
• Place the antenna as high as possible
• The longer is the antenna, the better will be the performance
• If possible, mount the antenna in the centre of the surface
• Keep the antenna cable away from noise sources, such as the iginition
switch, gauges, etc
• Prevent cable damage during antenna installation
Attention: To prevent damage, never operate your radio without connecting a pro-
per antenna. A periodical control of the cable and of the S.W.R. is recommended.
External speakers
If you use external speakers, the impedance must be 4 or 8 . The external
speaker jack accepts a 3.5mm mono plug.

Selective call
You may sometimes want to hear calls from only specific persons or groups.
In this case, use the selective call function. This transceiver is equipped with
CTCSS tones and DCS codes. These selective calls allow you to ignore (not
hear) unwanted calls from other persons who are using the same frequency.
The transceiver unmutes only when it receives the signal having the same
CTCSS tone or DCS code.
CTCSS and DCS do not make your conversation private or scrambled. It only
relieves you from listening to unwanted conversations.
