4. Installation
Before installing the main unit in the vehicle, please check and select the most
convenient position, in order that the radio will be easy to reach and comfortable to
operate without disturbing or interfering driving. Use the supplied bracket and hardware
to install the radio. The bracket screws must be well tightened to avoid looseness as the
vehicle vibrates. The car mounting bracket can be installed over or below the radio and
the radio may be inclined as desired according to the specific type of installation (under
dashboard or track cabin roof installation).
Installation of the Main Unit
Before connecting the radio to the vehicle electric system, please make sure the
radio is powered off with the OFF/VOL (6) knob completely turned anticlockwise at
OFF position. The DC power cable of the radio includes a fuse holder with fuse located
on the red positive (+) wire. Please connect the DC power cable to the vehicle electric
system with special attention to correct polarity, even if the radio is protected against
polarity inversion. Connect the red wire to the positive (+) pole and the black wire to
the negative (-) pole of the vehicle electric system. Please make sure that the wires and
terminals are firmly connected, to prevent cables from disconnecting or causing short
circuits.
Installation of the Antenna
A specific mobile antenna adjusted for 27 MHz frequency range must be used. The
antenna installation must be done by a qualified technician or service center. Please
install the antenna carefully on the vehicle with proper connection to ground. Before
