vehicle vibration from loosening the bracket or 

transceiver. 

 

Determine the appropriate angle of the transceiver, using 

the 3 screw hole positions on the side of the mounting 

bracket. 

 

 

MOBILE OPERATION 

The vehicle batter y must have a nominal rating of 12 V. 

Never connect the transceiver to a 24 V batter y. Be sure 

to use a 12 V vehicle batter y that has sufficient current 

capacity. If the current to the transceiver is insufficient, 

the display may darken during transmission, or transmit 

output power may drop excessively. 

1 Route the DC power cable supplied with the 

transceiver directly to the vehicle's batter y terminals 

using the shortest path from the transceiver. 

If using a noise filter, it should be installed with an 

insulator to prevent it from touching metal on the vehicle.
