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.
