5.2.- CONNECTING THE DC POWER CABLE:
5.2.1.- Mobile installation:
Make sure to use 12 V car batteries. If the radio´s power is low, during transmitting the screen will
grow dark and the output power may be significantly decreased.
Do not connect the transceiver to the 24 V power supply.
Note:
- If the battery is not fully charged or when the engine is switched off but the battery is still
not fully charged, the battery may discharge and there will not be enough power to start the
car. In this case, avoid using the transceiver in these conditions.
1. Install the transceiver as close as possible to the battery by connecting the power cable directly to
the vehicle's battery.
● If installing a noise eliminator filter, install an insulator to prevent the metal filter case from
contacting the car body.
● We do not recommend that you use the cigarette lighter socket of the car to power the transceiver
since some lighters may have voltage drops.
● Use rubber bushings when the cables have to be routed through the car chassis.
● The power cable must be protected from the heat produced by the car engine.
2. Once the power cord is installed, protect it from moisture including the fuse holder.
3. Disconnect the negative terminal of the car battery during the installation of the transceiver to
avoid short circuits.
4. Check the correct connection of the DC power cable, red to (+) terminal and black to (-) terminal
of the battery.
● Don´t remove the DC power cable fuses under any circumstances.
5. Once the transceiver is installed, connect the negative terminal of the battery again.
6. Connect the DC power cable to the transceiver.
● Press firmly on the DC power cord connector until you hear a “click” sound.
