When installing your radio in your vehicle, check that
during installation you do not damage any wiring or vehicle
components that may be hidden around the mounting
position.
For optimum performance your radio needs to be installed
correctly. If you are unsure about how to install your radio, we
suggest you have your radio professionally installed by a UHF
specialist or Auto electrician. When installing the radio, avoid
mounting it close to heaters or air conditioners. Never press
the PTT or CALL button before connecting the antenna to the
radio.
Wiring Methods
There are two possible wiring configurations for connecting to the
Vehicles power supply.
A. Radio stays ON when the ignition is switched OFF
Connect the radio’s negative (black) lead to the vehicle chassis, or directly
to the batteries negative terminal.
Connect the radio’s positive (red) lead via the 2 Amp fuse to the battery’s
positive terminal. Alternatively, the positive lead could be connected at the
fuse box at a point that has +13.8 Volts continuously available (preferably
the battery side of the ignition switch) via the 2 Amp fuse.
