Only use fuses of the specified type and rating; otherwise the
transceiver could be damaged.
If you use the transceiver for a long period when the vehicle battery
is not fully charged, or when the engine is OFF, the battery may
become discharged, and will not have sufficient reserves to start
the vehicle.
Avoid using the transceiver in these conditions.
Antenna Connection
Before operating, install an efficient, well-tuned antenna. The success
of your installation will depend largely on the type of antenna and its
correct installation. The transceiver can give excellent results if the
antenna system and its installation are given careful attention.
Use a 50Ω impedance antenna and low-loss coaxial feed line that
has a characteristic impedance of 50 Ω, to match the transceiver
input impedance. Coupling the antenna to the transceiver via feed
lines having an impedance other than 50Ω reduces the efficiency of
the antenna system and can cause interference to nearby broadcast
television receiver
s, radio
receivers, and other electronic equipment.
