WARNING
Before transmitting with your transceiver, you must obtain a Department of
Communications (D.O.CJ Citizens Radio Licence. Obtain an application form,
from the D.O.C Before completing the form you should read the conditions
governing the licensing and operation of the CR.S (D.O.C brochure RB 14J.
This brochure also can be obtained from the D.O.C After completing the appli-
cation form, mail it with the appropriate fee to the Superintendant Regulatory

MOBILE INSTALLATION
Plan the location of the radio and microphone bracket before starting installa-
tion. Select a location that is convenient for operation and does not interfere
with the driver or passenger in the vehicle. The radio should be securely fas-
tened to a solid surface using the mounting bracket and self-tapping screws
which are provided.
MOBILEANTENNA
Since the maximum allowable power output of the transceiver is limited by the
D.O.C, the antenna is a very important factor affecting transmission distance.
It is for this reason that we strongly recommend that you install only a quality
antenna in your new CB radio system. You have purchased a superior quality
transceiver. Don't diminish its performance by installing an inferior antenna.
Only a properly matched antenna system will allow maximum power transfer
from the 50-ohm transmission line to the radiating element. We recommend
that you use the built-in SWR meter when installing your antenna. Set your
PRO 540e to channel 20 and press the SWRkey. Th~SWRscale isthe first set of
numbers above the LEDmeter, ( DJ , [Z] and I3J J. Make adjustments
to the antenna until the meter shows SWRreading less than [Z] . Your local
dealer is qualified to assist you in the selection of the proper antenna to meet
your application requirements.
For automobile installation, the whip antenna may be used with good effect.
The most efficient and practical installation is a full quarter wave whip antenna
mounted on the rear deck or fender top, midway between the rear window
and bumper.
