Safety and General Information
A properly installed Vehicle Charger Mounting Adapter minimizes
service calls. When mounting the components of the Vehicle
Charger Mounting Adapter, consider the following factors:
• The mounting surface must have sufficient strength to support
the item being mounted to prevent it from becoming loose over
time.
• Do not attach components to any part of the vehicle that is
subject to excessive vibration.
• The proposed location of the item being mounted, wires, or
cables attached, must not interfere with driver or passenger
seating or leg space.
• Use the supplied mounting hardware.
• Ensure that the cables are not stretched, and not subject to
heat from the engine, transmission housing, or heating ducts.
• Crimp or tie together all the wires using a cable tie to keep tidy.
• Ensure that screws are securely fastened on all connectors.
• Do not run cables over sharp edges that may cause excessive
wear or chaffing of the cable insulation.
• Do not install components in locations where they may cause
interference to the operation of the vehicle's controls.
• Always remove the antenna before charging the radio. The
radio may not charge properly if the antenna is attached to the
radio.
• The E-DC-32 Cigarette Lighter Adapter is designed for
charging only when the radio is not in operation. Always turn
the radio off when charging the battery.
