from each wire for the contact terminal.
w
Open the HTR-6115 Molex hand crimper with the en-
graved side toward you.
e
Insert the stripped conductor unit the insulation is even
with the side of the crimper facing you.
r
Clip the conductor tab until a crimp is obtained.
t
Move the lead to the crimper anvil.

main unit and unscrew the inside lock screw until the in-
side metal catch touches the chassis hole.
(Fig. 2)
•
Use the metal catch located on bottom side of the transceiver
when installing into the existing mounting bracket with MB-113.
e
Rotate the lock screw clockwise 4 revolutions
(Fig. 3)
, and
then rotate counterclockwise a quarter revolution.
(Fig. 4)
r
Insert the main unit (transceiver) into the mounting
bracket.
(Fig. 5)
t
Screw the lock screw to fix the main unit (transceiver) to
the bracket.
(Fig. 6)
y
Connect the flat cable.
(Fig. 7)
NOTE:
Make sure that the flat cable between the trans-
ceiver and front panel is securely connected. The
transceiver may not function properly when loose
or when a wrong connection is made.

Notes for making the mounting hole
The IC-A210/A210E can be mounted securely in the supplied
mounting bracket.
Remember to allow adequate space for installation of cables
and connectors.
When installing 2 or more transceivers in a stack, the mount-
ing trays should be 1.27 mm
(0.05
″
)
apart.
The mounting bracket has 0.64 mm
(0.025
″
)
dimples in the
top, bottom, and both sides for proper spacing.
Mark and cut the mounting holes.
To support the mounting bracket, the rear mounting bosses
should be attached to the airframe.
