Remove 6 to 7 inches of the outer jacket at the bare end of the power cable. The
Red
wire of
the DVM power cable should be connected to the vehicle co12Vdc. Connect the
wire to the ignition switch where +12vdc is only present when the vehicle ignition key is in the
ON position. The
Black
wire of this power cable connects directly to the vehicle’s chassis.
Separate the braided shield from the individual conductors, attach an electrical terminal to the
end of the braided shield, and attach the terminal to the chassis of the vehicle. Secure all
cables and in-line fuse housing using Velcro or standard tie wraps as required. If the accessory
connector cannot be found, use an alternate source of battery
power.
•
It is required that this power wire be tied directly to vehicle
power with no obstructions to the vehicle battery such as a
cutoff switch or charge guard system.
•
The power cable contains an in-line filter and 3A fuse.
I
t is recommended that these connections are made directly to
the police package accessory harness or engine compartment battery
wiring harness for best results. These wires should be used ONLY for the DVM system and not be tapped
into for installation of any other equipment in the vehicle. Doing so, could result in possible radio
frequency interference from the other equipment.
1. Attach the mounting bracket to the back of the BTR (base
transceiver cradle); the assembly can then be mounted at your
preferred location, such as the side of the center console.
2. Attached the antenna. If you are using the optional In-Car
Microphone, connect it to the BTR In-Car Microphone jack and route the microphone to
your preferred location in your system.
Important: if not using an external microphone, do NOT attach the microphone input on
the back of the DVM mirror. The DVM will then use the built-in microphone located next
to the record button on the front of the mirror.
3. Connect the BTR cable assembly to the RJ-45 input on the BTR.
