The receiver requires 10-16 volts DC (VDC) 
power input supporting 60 watts 

(5 amps @ 

12VDC).

a.

Before you connect the power wires, turn 

off vehicle power and test the circuit to 

ensure no power is present.

b.

Connect the individual power wires to a 

dedicated 12 VDC circuit. Connect the 

negative (black) wire to ground (power 

return), and connect the positive (red) 

wire to clean +12 VDC vehicle power.

NOTE: 

If vehicle power fluctuates or is noisy, 

KVH recommends that you use an AC/DC 
power supply (KVH P/N 72-0206-01) to 
provide stable power to the receiver.

c.

Plug the other end of the wires into the 

“Vehicle Power” jack on the rear panel of 

the receiver (see 

Figure 15

).

CAUTION

For your own safety, shut down vehicle 
power before you connect the wires.
