PREPARATION

2

Position the transceiver, then insert and tighten
the 4 supplied hexagon SEMS screws and flat
washers.

• Double check that all hardware is tightened to

prevent vehicle vibration from loosening the bracket
or transceiver.

• Determine the desired angle of the main unit, using

the 3 screw holes on the rear edge of each bracket
side.

MOBILE INSTALLATION

This transceiver allows you to install the front panel and
main unit in separate locations. Select safe, convenient
locations inside your vehicle that minimize danger to
your passengers and yourself while the vehicle is in
motion. Consider installing the units at appropriate
positions so that knees or legs will not strike them during
sudden braking of your vehicle. Try to pick well-
ventilated locations that are shielded from direct sunlight.

Note:

Unlike the previous

KENWOOD

mobile transceivers, this

transceiver does not allow the front panel and main unit to be joined.

■

Main Unit Installation

1

Install the mounting bracket in the vehicle using
the 4 supplied self-tapping screws and flat
washers.

• The bracket must be installed so that the 3 screw

holes on the edge of each bracket side are facing the
rear.
