The FLEX-5000 power cable is unterminated on one end so that you can adapt it to various DC power
connectors, such as Anderson Power Poles, Banana plugs, screw terminals or spade lugs. Connect the 2
red wires to the positive terminal and the 2 black wires to the negative terminal of your power supply
Note 1:
Do not apply power to the FLEX-5000 until you are instructed to do
so.
Note 2:
Retain the FLEX-5000 packaging for future use. This packaging was
specially designed for the radio to prevent damage which may occur
during shipping. If you ever need to ship your FLEX-5000 anywhere,
especially back to FlexRadio Systems, this is the preferred packaging
to use.
