be powered from a standard car battery for example, provided
you take these precautions:
• Connect the receiver to an external battery, using an SAE-
terminated cable with electric wires all certified UL 758
and CSA C22.2 No. 210, or similar.
• The minimum wire section should be AWG 18.
• The cable should include a 5-A fuse placed in series. The
fuse should be certified “UL listed” and CSA certified 3-
30 A (or equivalent).
