PowerWiring (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:  
How to Select, Position, Install andTune the Right  
One forYou  
Basically, you may 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). Midland markets a line of high-performance  
antennas.Visit our website at www.midlandradio. com  
to check out the selection.  
A. Connect the positive (REDWIRE) the one with  
in-line fuse holder to either the  
WhereYou 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.  
( 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.Then tightly connect the ground (BLACKWIRE)  
directly to the vehicle’s metal frame. A good direct  
metal-to-metal ground is essential for optimum  
performance.  
Mounting the Main Unit  
Step 1: Loosen the retaining knobs on each side of the  
mounting bracket to give enough space for the unit to slide  
between the two bracket arms.  
Step 2: Position the main unit between the bracket arms in  
line with the retaining knobs. Set the height and angle for  
optimum operating comfort and accessibility.  
Step 3: Tighten the retaining knobs.  
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  
needed.  
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 34  
cm (14 in.) from all persons and must not be collocated  
or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or  
transmitter.  
Installation of Microphone Hanger  
Mounting holes are provided on the microphone hanger bracket.  
The bracket can be attached to the vehicle dash or other  
convenient location.  
Tuning your Antenna  
Some antennas are factory tuned. However, performance  
can usually be improved by slightly lengthening or shorte-  
ning its length, using a StandingWave Radio (SWR) meter.  
For the exact procedures to be used refer to the antenna  
manufacturer’s installation manual.

Feature Operation  
Midland Radio Corporation is not responsible for  
personal injury, vehicle damage or death due to negligent  
use of the 9001z.  
1. 4 Pin Microphone Connector  
2. On/OFFVolume Knob- Turn clockwise to turn power on  
and set to the desired listening volume.  
9. Channel Selector Knob- This knob selects any one of the  
40 Citizen Band channels.The selected channel is indicated by  
the LED readout, directly above the Channel Selector Knob.  
10. C-MIC/DYM Switch- Allows the user to switch the type  
of microphone being used. It can be set to use an Electret  
microphone (C-MIC) or a Dynamic Microphone (DYM).  
11. S/RF/SWR/CAL Switch- This switch selects meter  
function. S/RF is normal, SWR and CAL are for SWR  
measurements only. See pg 6 for calibration instructions.  
12. NB/ANL/OFF Switch- When this switch is in the NB  
position, the RF Noise Blanker will be activated.The RF  
Noise Blanker is very effective for cutting down on ignition  
interference.When in the ANL position, the ANL is active to  
reduce background noise.  
13. CB/WX/PA Switch- This switch allows you to move from  
CB mode toWeather (WX) scan mode and PA mode.When  
theWeather scan is activated, the radio will begin scanning  
and lock on the first weather channel broadcast signal  
strong enough to use. If later the signal becomes too weak  
to use the unit will automatically resume scanning to find a  
usable signal. In PA mode, incoming CB transmissions will be  
broadcast through the PA speaker.This allows you to hear  
transmissions when you are not inside your vehicle. The PA  
function should not be used unless a PA speaker is connected.  
14. CH9/Nor/CH19 Switch- This switch is used for instant  
selection of Emergency Channel 9, Informational Channel 19  
or Normal CB operation.  
3. Squelch Knob- This control is used to cut off or  
eliminate receiver background noise in the absence of an  
incoming signal. For maximum receiver sensitivity it is desired  
that the control be adjusted only to the point where the  
receiver background noise is eliminated. Adjust until the  
receiver noise disappears.This will require the incoming signal  
to be slightly stronger than the average receiver noise. Fur-  
ther clockwise rotation will increase the threshold level which  
a signal must overcome in order to be heard. Only strong  
signals will be heard at a maximum clockwise setting.  
4. XTRATalk Mic Gain Knob- Adjusts the microphone gain  
in transmit and PA modes.This controls the gain to the extent  
that full talk power is available several inches away from the  
microphone. In the Public Address (PA) mode, the control  
functions as the volume control.  
5. RF Gain Knob-Adjust as required to optimize signal.This  
control is used primarily to optimize reception in strong  
signal areas. Gain is reduced by counter clockwise rotation  
of the control.  
6. DeltaTune Knob- Turn this fine tuning knob clockwise to  
capture a more readable signal, as well as eliminate adjacent  
channel interference.  
7. SWR Knob (StandingWave Ratio)-Allows for the  
calibration of the meter for standing wave ratio measure-  
ments.  
8. Guardian Alert Knob- This unique feature allows for the  
setting of a timed alert that can be used for many different  
things including keeping one alert while driving or setting an  
appointment reminder.To activate, turn the knob clockwise  
to choose a time increment- 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 50, or 60  
minutes. Once set, the radio will emit a loud beeping noise in  
the specified increment. For example, if you set the alarm for  
15 minutes, after 15 minutes the alarm will sound.To snooze  
the alert for another 15 minutes, press the knob in once.  
To deactivate, turn the knob to the OFF position. Warning:  
The Guardian Alert is NOT intended as a substitute for  
adequate rest.You should not operate a vehicle if you  
are drowsy. During extended periods of vehicle operation,  
you should take frequent breaks. NEVER OPERATE A  
VEHICLE IFYOU ARE DROWSY.  
15. BRT/DIM Switch- Used to adjust the brightness of the  
LED.  
16. XR Switch- This activates and deactivates the XR  
technology, which is a noise filter than helps improve tran-  
smission range.  
17.TX LED- Indicates when the radio is transmitting.  
18.ANT LED- Indicates a high SWR condition with the  
antenna system. Check antenna, cable and connections.  
19.WX LED- Indicates when weather mode is activated.

How to OperateYour CB  
1.Turn it on. Make sure the power cord, antenna and micro-  
phone are connected to their proper connectors before  
starting.  
2. Ensure the CB/PA switch is in the CB position.  
3. Rotate the On/OFF volume knob clockwise to adjust the  
volume to a normal listening level  
4. Select one of the 40 channels using the channel selector knob  
and adjust the volume.The selected channel will be indicated  
on the LED.  
8. To use an external speaker, connect an external speaker  
to the external speaker jack on the rear panel. Ensure the  
external speaker has 8-ohm impedance and is rated to handle  
4.0 watts.When an external speaker is plugged in, the internal  
speaker is automatically disabled.  
9. To use Public Address mode, connect an external PA speaker  
to the PA jack on the rear panel. Ensure the speaker has  
8-ohm impedance and is rated to handle at least 4 watts.  
Set the CB/PA switch to the PA position. Push and hold the  
PTT button on the microphone and speak in a normal voice.  
Your voice will transmit throught the PA speaker. Ensure the  
speaker is directed away from the microphone to prevent  
acoustic feedback.  
5. Calibrate the SWR.This is critical in order to achieve  
optimum performance.To do so, follow these steps:  
A. Select channel 18.  
B. Switch the S/RF/SWR/CAL to the CAL position.  
C. Push and hold the PTT button on the microphone.  
D.While holding the PTT button, adjust the SWR  
Calibration knob so the meter needle swings to  
the CAL (down arrow) mark on the right side of  
the meter.  
E. While holding down the PTT button, set the  
S/RF/SWR/CAL switch to the SWR position to  
read the SWR reading.  
F. Repeat the same steps two through B-E on  
channel 1 and 40 as well.This will check SWR for  
all the channels.  
Note: Calibration must be made in an open area (never in a  
garage).Vehicle doors must be closed. No one should be standing  
near the antenna.The reading will be slightly higher when  
calibrating on channel 1 and 40 than on channel 18. Ideally  
when switched to the SWR postion, the meter needle should be  
as far left as possible. Anything over 3 is not acceptable.  
6. To receive, ensure the radio is on and the CB/PA switch is  
in the CB position and ensure the PTT on the microphone  
is released.When receiving theYellow LED will be lit.The  
S-Meter will swing proportionately to the strength of the  
incoming signal when receiving. In order to read the meter,  
the S/RF/SWR/CAL switch must be in the S/RF position.  
7. To transmit, ensure the radio is on and the CB/PA switch is  
in the CB position.Adjust the XTRATalk Mic Gain initially  
all the way clockwise to ensure maximum voice volume is  
available. Press the PTT on the microphone and hold the  
microphone two inches from your mouth, speaking in a clear,  
normal voice.
