Installation of your Oricom Radio
The radios positive (red) lead should connect to an accessory point in
the vehicle’s fuse box via the 3 Amp fuse.
Antenna information
The antenna (not supplied) is of critical importance to maximise
your output power and receiver sensitivity.
A poorly installed, inferior quality antenna, or one not designed
for the correct frequency band, will give poor performance. You
should only purchase an antenna designed for the 477MHz
frequency band.
Antenna installation
To obtain maximum performance from the radio, select a high quality
antenna and mount it in a good location.
Never press the PTT before connecting an antenna to the radio.
Optional accessories
If required, you may install an external (8 ohm, Minimum 5W power)
speaker fitted with a 3.5mm plug (not supplied).
Depending on the installation, it may be necessary to use an external
speaker (not supplied) to give improved volume and clarity. This can be
plugged into the external speaker (SP) socket on the rear of the unit.
