Connect the DC power cable to the transceiver’s
power supply connector.

• Press the connectors firmly together until the locking

tab clicks.

■

Fixed Station Operation

In order to use this transceiver for fixed station
operation, you will need a separate 13.8 V DC power
supply (purchased separately). We recommend
using a power supply with a current capacity of 12 A.

Note:

◆

To get the most out of your transceiver, we recommend using
the optional PS-33 (20.5 A, 25% duty cycle) power supply.

◆

Before connecting the DC power supply to the transceiver, be
sure to switch the transceiver and the DC power supply OFF.

◆

Do not plug the DC power supply into an AC outlet until you
make all connections.

Connect the DC power cable to the regulated DC
power supply and check that the polarities are
correct (Red: positive, Black: negative).

• Do not directly connect the transceiver to an AC

outlet. Use the supplied DC power cable to connect
the transceiver to a regulated power supply.

• Do not substitute the cable with smaller gauge wires.
