PREPARATION
WARNING
Various electronic equipment in your vehicle may malfunction if they are not properly protected from
the radio frequency energy which is present while transmitting. Typical examples include electronic
fuel injection, anti-skid braking, and cruise control. If your vehicle contains such equipment, consult
the dealer for the make of vehicle and enlist his/her aid in determining if they will perform normally
while transmitting.
o
Connecting the power cable
CAUTION
The transceiver operates in 12 V negative ground systems only! Check the battery polarity and voltage
of the vehicle before installing the transceiver.
1
Check for an existing hole, conveniently located in the firewall, where the power
cable can be passed through.
●
If no hole exists, use a circle cutter to drill a hole, then install a rubber grommet.
2
Run the power cable through the firewall and into the engine compartment.
3
Connect the red lead to the positive (+) battery terminal and the black lead to the
negative (–) battery terminal.
●
Place the fuse as close to the battery as possible.
4
Coil the surplus cable and secure it with a retaining band.
●
Be sure to leave enough slack in the cables so the transceiver can be removed for
servicing while keeping the power applied.
o
Installing the transceiver
WARNING
For passenger safety, install the transceiver securely using the supplied mounting bracket and screw
set, so the transceiver will not break loose in the event of a collision.
Note:
●
Before installing the transceiver, check how far the mounting screws will extend below the
surface. When drilling mounting holes, be careful not to damage vehicle wiring or parts.
1
Mark the position of the holes in the dash, using the mounting bracket as a
template. Using a 4.2 mm (5/32 inch) drill bit, drill the holes, then attach the
mounting bracket using the supplied screws.
●
Mount the transceiver within easy reach of the user and where there is sufficient space
at the rear of the transceiver for cable connections.
2
Connect the antenna and the supplied power cable to the transceiver.
3
Slide the transceiver into the mounting bracket and secure it using the supplied
hex-headed screws.
