FCC I.D. MMA1001
Serial Number:____________________
Welcome to the World of Midland
Electronics
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.
How to Install your Midland Mobile CB
This transceiver may be installed in any 12-volt negative groundsystem 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.
Installation and Operating Accessories
Furnished with your Midland CB:
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.
Where to Locate your CB Transceiver
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.
Mechanical Mounting
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
Power Wiring (negative ground only)
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.
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
How to select, position, install and tune the
right antenna for you:
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.
Antenna Installation
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.
Tuning your Antenna
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.
Factors affecting CB range
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.
Noise:
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.
Midland MODEL 1001Z CB Operating
Controls
Front Panel Controls
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.
