PREPARATION
Various electronic equipment in your vehicle may malfunction if they are not properly protected from
the radio frequency energy which is present while transmitting. Typical examples include electronic
fuel injection, anti-skid braking, and cruise control. If your vehicle contains such equipment, consult
the dealer for the make of vehicle and enlist his/her aid in determining if they will perform normally
while transmitting.

Power Cable Connection
The transceiver operates in 12 V negative ground systems only! Check the battery polarity and
voltage of the vehicle before installing the transceiver.
1
Check for an existing hole, conveniently located in the fi rewall, where the power
cable can be passed through.
•
If no hole exists, use a circle cutter to drill a hole, then install a rubber grommet.
2
Run the power cable through the fi rewall and into the engine compartment.
3
Connect the red lead to the positive (+) battery terminal and the black lead to the
negative (–) battery terminal.
•
Place the fuse as close to the battery as possible.
4
Coil the surplus cable and secure it with a retaining band.
•
Be sure to leave enough slack in the cables so the transceiver can be removed
for servicing while keeping the power applied.
