Replacing Fuses
If a fuse blows, determine the cause, then correct the
problem. After the problem is resolved, replace the
fuse. If newly installed fuses continue to blow,
disconnect the power cable and contact your
authorized
KENWOOD
dealer or an authorized
KENWOOD
service center for assistance.
Only use fuses of the specified type and rating; otherwise the
transceiver could be damaged.
Note:
If you use the transceiver for a long period when the
vehicle battery is not fully charged or when the engine is OFF, the
battery may become discharged and will not have sufficient
reserves to start the vehicle. Avoid using the transceiver under
these conditions.
ANTENNA CONNECTION
Before operating, you must first install an efficient,
well-tuned antenna. Successful transceiver operation
will depend largely on the type of antenna and its correct
installation. The transceiver can give excellent results if
the antenna system and its installation are given careful
attention.
Use a 50
Ω
impedance antenna to match the transceiver
input impedance. Also use a low-loss coaxial feed line
that has a characteristic impedance of 50
Ω
. Coupling
the antenna to the transceiver via feed lines having an
impedance other than 50
Ω
reduces the efficiency of the
antenna system, and can cause interference to nearby
broadcast television receivers, radio receivers, and other
electronic equipment.
◆
Transmitting without first connecting an antenna or other matched
load may damage the transceiver. Always connect an antenna to
the transceiver before transmitting.
◆
All fixed stations should be equipped with a lightning arrester to
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and transceiver damage.
