______

Step 1: Select Mounting

Location

Depending on the type of truck, there may be built-in antenna

mounting points. If the vehicle does not have built-in mounting

points, the antenna includes a three-way mount that will work

on vehicles with mirror rails. The antenna will also work with

third party CB antenna mounts.

Select mounting location on vehicle. The antenna can be

mounted in any CB mount or antenna mounting point on the

vehicle. For best performance mount the antenna above the

metal cab (it does not need to be above cab wind deﬂector).

Typical Antenna

Mounting Points

NOTE: Mount at least 12 inches from any other antennas. Free of obstructions.

NOTE: If the vehicle is using two CB antennas co-phase wiring, removing one

antenna will cause reduced performance of the remaining CB antenna.

Once you have determined the

best location for the antenna

and have determined if Mast

Extensions are needed, insert

cable through mast.

If using Mast Extension(s) add

thread locker (provided) to thread

point(s). Screw into place.

Add thread locker (provided) to

thread point and screw on the

Side Exit Adapter.

NOTE: Mast Extensions may not be

needed depending on your mounting

point.

NOTE: Be sure the antenna is the correct

height before applying thread locker.

NOTE: When adding the side exit adapter

hold the antenna vertically and screw the

adapter from the bottom up. This reduces

cable twisting.

Step 4: Mount Inside Antenna

Identify a place to mount the In-Vehicle Antenna, either on the

side of the seat or on the dash and mount. The location should

be at least 18 inches but no more than 36 inches from where

the cellular device will be used. Use the Velcro® adhesive

strip/adhesive strip provided and attach to desired location.

Before connecting the power supply, disconnect the vehicle battery

leads to avoid any electrical shocks during installation.

Locate a place where cables are already running through the ﬁrewall

(rear wall of engine bay) to the inside of the cabin.

Locate the same ﬁrewall hole from inside of the vehicle cabin.

Route the power cables of the power supply from the inside of the

vehicle cabin out through ﬁrewall hole.

Note: The cables must be routed inside to outside since the power

supply brick won’t ﬁt through the ﬁrewall holes. The power supply

brick should remain inside the vehicle cabin.

Connect the positive lead of the power supply (lead with red tape)

to the disconnected positive (+) lead of the battery (not the positive

terminal on the battery itself).

Connect the negative lead of the power supply (lead without tape)

to the disconnected negative (-) lead of the battery (not the negative

terminal on the battery itself).

Connect the positive (+) lead back to the vehicle battery.

Connect the negative (-) lead back to the vehicle battery.

Use steps below as a draft/template of the general install of

the power supply.

______

Step 5: Wiring The Power

Supply To Vehicle Battery

NOTE: Having the power supply directly connected to the battery may

drain the battery’s life. Please review the vehicle’s owner’s manual for more

information. Adding a “fuse tap” may be another solution. A “fuse tap” is an

electrical part that functions as a power splitter and is meant to be installed

in the car’s fuse box, making the amp shut o when the vehicle’s ignition

switch is turned o.

IMPORTANT: Power supply must be wired to fuse.
