Starting The Installation
8.
Connect the power cable red lead from the
fuse holder to the positive (+) battery termi-
nal. Make sure the adapter cable is connected
to the main power cable red lead.
NOTE
Failure to connect the red lead of the
power cable kit directly to the battery
may result in severe alternator whine
interference.
9.
Plug the fuse into the in-line fuse holder as
shown in Figure 2-2.
Mounting Trunnion Installation
(35 W & 30 W)
1.
Select the location to mount your radio - either
on the transmission hump or under the dash-
board. If the trunnion is to be mounted on the
transmission hump, ensure that the transmis-
sion housing is not affected.
2.
Using the trunnion mounting bracket as a
template, mark the positions of the holes on
the mounting surface. Use the five holes for a
curved mounting surface such as the trans-
mission hump.
3.
Center punch the spots you have marked and
drill a 5/32" (4 mm) hole at each location.
4.
Secure the trunnion mounting bracket to the
surface with the five 10-16x3/4" (20 mm)
screws provided.
5.
Place the radio in the mounting trunnion and
secure it with the two M5 thumb screws pro-
vided and one TT5 rear screw.
6.
Mount the antenna using the instructions pro-
vided with the antenna kit. Run the coaxial
cable to the radio mounting location. Unless
specified otherwise in the antenna instruc-
tions, cut off the access cable and install the
cable connector.
7.
Connect the antenna cable connector to the
radio antenna connector on the rear of the
radio. See Figure 2-4.
8.
Mount the microphone clip to a convenient
spot near your radio, and ensure that it is
grounded.
9.
Plug the microphone cord into the control
head connector. Refer to Figure 2-3. Your
microphone has a telephone type connector at
the end of its cord. Connect and disconnect
your radio microphone cord in the same man-
ner you connect and disconnect your tele-
phone handset cord.
10. To complete your radio installation, plug the
power cable into the radio power cable. Refer
to Figure 2-4.
