A three-wire cable is used to provide power to the radio. The red fused
lead supplies power to the radio directly from the vehicle battery. The yellow
fused lead is an ignition sense lead. It is used by the radio electronics to de-
termine when the ignition switch is turned on. This lead is not used to supply
power to the radio but must have power applied when the radio is pro-
grammed. The black lead is the radio ground connection.
Depending on how the radio jumpers are configured, the radio may be
operated only when the ignition switch is turned on (or in the accessory po-
sition), or may be operated regardless of ignition switch position (ignition
switch bypass). Before connecting the radio to power, refer to Table 1 and
the connection diagram for the proper jumper configuration and wiring de-
tails. The power connectors lock into place when they are mated together.
Squeeze the end of the connector when disconnecting the power plug.
MICROPHONE
The microphone has an internal hookswitch which is activated when the
microphone is placed into the hanger. There are no wires connected to the
microphone hanger.
Mount the microphone where it will be within easy reach of the operator,
but will not interfere with safe operation of the vehicle. Connect the micro-
phone plug into the microphone connector on the radio and tighten the re-
taining screws in the plug. Refer to Figure 8 for microphone and mounting
bracket details.

It is suggested that you take advantage of the experience of one of the
many authorized Service Stations located throughout the United States by
having them install your radio and make the final adjustments. A typical in-
stallation is shown in Figure 2.
EQUIPMENT REQUIRED
The equipment required for installing the radio and accessories is listed
below:
•
Electric drill for drilling mounting holes
•
Drills (see sizes in box)
•
Phillips screwdriver and Allen wrench for mounting screws
•
Electrical Tape
INSTALLATIONS IN VEHICLES POWERED BY LIQUEFIED (LP) GAS
Interference with vehicular electronics - Electronic fuel injection
systems, electronic anti-skid braking systems, electronic cruise con-
trol systems, etc. are typical of the types of electronic devices which
may be prone to malfunction due to the lack of protection from ra-
dio frequency energy present when transmitting. If the vehicle con-
tains such equipment, consult the dealer for the make of vehicle for
help in determining if such electronic circuits will perform nor-
mally when the radio is transmitting.
