Installation 

 

LOCATION 

       Plan the location of the transceiver and microphone bracket before starting the 
installation. Select a location that is convenient for operation and does not interfere 
with the driver or passengers in the vehicles. In automobiles, the transceiver is 
usually mounted below the dash panel, with the microphone bracket beside it. 

 

MOUNTING THE RADIO 

Your transceiver is supplied with a universal mounting bracket. When 

mounting the bracket and radio to your car, make sure it is mechanically strong. 
Also provide a good electrical connection to the chassis of the vehicle. Proceed as 
follows to mount the transceiver: 

 

1.

 

After you have determined the most convenient location in your vehicle, hold 
the transceiver with mounting bracket in the exact location desired. If nothing 
will interfere with mounting it in the desired position, remove the mounting 
bolts. Before drilling the holes, make sure nothing will interfere with the 
installation of the mounting bolts. 

 

2.

 

Connect the antenna coax connector to the standard antenna connector on the 
rear panel of the radio. Most antennas are terminated with a type PL-259 
connector. 

 

 

3.

 

Connect the red DC power input wire (with the fuse) to +13.8V DC. This wire 
extends from the rear panel. In automatic installation, +13.8V DC is usually 
obtained from the accessory contact on the ignition switch. This prevents the 
set being left on accidentally when the driver leaves the car and also permits 
operating the unit without the engine running. Locate the accessory contact on 
most ignition switches by tracing the power wire from the AM broadcast 
receiver in the car. 

 

4.

 

Connect the black lead to –13.8V DC. This is usually the chassis of the car. 
Any convenient location with good electrical contact (remove paint) may be 
used. 

 

5.

 

Mount the microphone bracket on the right side of the transceiver or near the 
transceiver, using two screws supplied. When mounting in an automobile, 
place the bracket under the dash so the microphone is readily accessible.
