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.

    12-volt DC power supply that can supply at least 1.5 amps (Cat. No.
    22-120)

    CAUTION:  Most 12-volt DC power supplies plug into a standard AC outlet
              to produce DC power.  Before connecting your CB to a 12-volt
              DC power supply, read and follow the instructions included
              with the power supply.

              Base station antenna (Cat. No. 21-967)

              Coaxial antenna cable and connectors

    NOTE:  Your local Radio Shack store carries coaxial antenna cable and
           connectors.

    External 8-Ohm speaker (Cat. No. 21-549)

Follow these steps to install the CB as a base station.

1.  Mount the base station antenna as described in its owner's manual.

    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, cable, or guy
              wires can cause electrocution and death.  Call the power
              company to remove the antenna.  DO NOT attempt to do so
              yourself.
