FCC I.D. MMA1001

Serial Number:____________________

Congratulations on your purchase of a state-of-the-art mobile CB

radio. In the years ahead, you can expect to realize time and again why

Midland holds the front running position among CB users everywhere. You

will come to know that Midland power is more than just a slogan, but the

heading of long list of hearable, seeable benefits. As your Midland CB

experience unfolds and grows we hope you will remember that CB is only

one kind of electronic excellence available under the Midland name.

Your 40 channel CB represents the state of the art in high tech engineering.

The unit incorporates microprocessor controlled PLL circuitry for precise

tuning.

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.

1. Easy removal mounting bracket system.

2. Microphone bracket system.

3. All main-unit and microphone mounting hardware needed for normal

installation.

4. Plug-in microphone with coil cord.

5. FCC part 95, Subpart D.

6. Owner’s Manual.

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.

Step 1: Heeding the caution, 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.

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

(

)

Step 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.

Step 2: With negative ground

A. Connect the positive (RED WIRE) the one 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 goes off when the ignition goes

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.

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.

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 five 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 he carries.

Follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions carefully.

, Warning: Never operate your CB radio without attaching an antenna or

with a broken antenna cable. This will result in damage to transmitter

circuitry.

, Safety notice: The antenna used for this radio must be installed to

provide a separation distance of at least 8 in. (20cm) from all persons

and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other

antenna or transmitter.

Some antennas are factory tuned. However, performance can usually be

improved by slightly lengthening or shortening the antenna using a Standing

Wave Radio (SWR) meter. For the exact procedures to be used, refer to the

antenna manufacturer’s installation manual.

You can buy an SWR meter separately or have your antenna checked by

your Midland CB Dealer’s service department.

Essentially, they are the same influences that optimize or limit AM and FM

broadcast signals.

Terrain: Hills, valleys and buildings naturally interrupt and shorten CB

signals. In short, anything that is between you and the person you want to

talk to can shorten your CB range. You can expect to maintain maximum

transmitting/receiving performance in flat, open country.

Weather: You can expect that CB range will be reduced – perhaps

drastically – in times of atmospheric disturbance, such as in a thunderstorm

or heavy snow. Sunspots too are known to adversely affect CB performance.

A common source of excessive noise is the ignition system. In many vehicles

today the electric fuel pump is another possible source of noise. If you

suspect this is true, turn off the ignition. With the CB in receive mode the

noise is no longer present this is a source of the noise. In some cases the

noise can be reduced or eliminated by making sure the CB radio chassis is

grounded. This is in addition to the power cord. In extreme cases, additional

grounding of components may be necessary.

ON/OFF VOLUME: In the off position your transceiver power is off. Turn

this control clockwise to switch on the unit and adjust the volume.

SQUELCH CONTROL: Adjust this control until background noise just

disappears. If the control is adjusted too far clockwise it may cause

muting of weaker signals.

S/RF POWER METER: This display is used in receiving to indicate the

relative signal strength of incoming signals. When transmitting, it shows RF

power output.

PA/CB Switch: When in PA mode, it causes your voice to operate the

optional external PA speaker. In CB mode, the microphone operates the

transmitter.

Microphone Connector: Plug in the supplied microphone to this

connector. Received signals will not be heard without the microphone.

Channel Knob: This easy-to-operate control allows changing of CB

channels, either up or down.

Channel Indicator: The LED displays the channel number.

TX LED: Indicator shows the unit is transmitting.

Push-To-Talk bar: Press this bar to cause the radio to transmit. Hold the

microphone about 2 inches from your mouth and speak in a normal voice.

Antenna Connector: Connect a standard 50-ohm CB antenna to this

connector.

External Speaker Jack: When a speaker is connected to this jack, the

internal speaker is by-passed. All received signals will be heard through the

external speaker. The speaker connected to the “EXT” jack should be rated

at 8 ohms and 5 watts.

PA Jack: An optional PA speaker may be attached to your transceiver

through the PA output jack on the back panel. This allows you to

communicate with pedestrians or other vehicles through your CB

microphone. The speaker connected to the “PA” jack should be rated at 8

ohms and 5 watts.

DC 13.8V POWER Cord: Connects to power cord with in line 2 Amp fuse.

You should become familiar with the controls and complete the preceding

installation instructions before attempting to operate your CB.

1. Rotate the on/off volume control clockwise to turn the unit on.

2. Adjust the squelch control fully counter-clockwise so noise is heard.

3. Adjust the volume for a normal listening level.

4. Rotate the squelch control until the noise just disappears.

5. Select the desired channel by rotating the channel selector.

6. To transmit, press the PTT bar on the side of the microphone. Hold the

microphone 2 to 3 inches from your lips and speak in a normal voice.

7. To receive, simply release the PTT bar.

Warning: Do not attempt to make any internal adjustments. Internal adjustments and/or

modifications can lead to illegal operation as defined by the FCC rules and regulations, Part 95.

They must be made only by qualified technical personnel. Illegal operation can lead to serious

consequences.
