P
REPARATION
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.
■
Power Cable Connection
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.
