Connect the BLACK wire of the power cable to the NEGATIVE (-) side of your power
source.
Connect the RED wire of the power cable to
the POSITIVE (+) side of your power source.
NOTE: To extend the life of the radio,
use waterproof tape to seal electrical
connections.
Install your antenna according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
If necessary, consult the FCC guidelines for
antenna separation. See Antenna Selection
and Installation on page 51 for more
details. (In summary, the FCC recommends
that antennas up to 3 dB be installed a minimum of 3 feet from any occupied location;
antennas over 3 dB should be installed at least 6 feet away.)
Connect the PL-259 connector from the antenna lead-in wires to the SO238 connector
labeled
ANTENNA
on the back of your radio.
