to the Ignition Switch Accessory Terminal. This
way, the radio is automatically turned off when the
ignition switch is turned off.
As an alternative, the power cord may be
connected to an available terminal on the fuse
block or to a point in the wiring harness. However,
caution must be taken to prevent a short circuit.
If in doubt, contact your vehicle dealer for
information.
The CMX760 can operate on 12VDC power supply.

This radio may be installed and used in any 12-

volt DC negative ground system vehicle.
With a negative ground system, the negative (-)
battery terminal is usually connected to the vehicle
motor block.
Connect the red DC power cord from the radio to
the positive (+) battery terminal or other convenient
point. Then connect the black power cord to the
vehicle chassis or negative (-) battery terminal.

your antenna is very important. To achieve the
maximum transmission distance, Uniden strongly
recommends that you install only a high quality
antenna. You have just purchased a superior radio;
