Step 3.

Return the top cover to its original position by applying pressure on both sides of the
cover. Observe that the seal is correctly located.

MICOM-3T Final Connections

Warning

Ensure that the radio is off before making these connections.

1. Connect the power cable to DC power connector and connect the antenna RF cable to the

antenna connector.
In an antenna tuner is used, connect the antenna to the tuner, connect the tuner RF cable to
the RF connector located on the radio rear panel.

2. If a mounting tray is used, slide the radio with bracket into the tray and fasten the bracket to

the tray with the supplied screw (see Figure 21 on page 118).

3.  Use the tie straps included with the cable kit to tie loose cables out of the way.
4.  Connect a ground lead from the GND screw on the radio body to the chassis of the vehicle.
5.  Connect the control head cable to the connector in the front panel of the radio and to control

head.

Important

Special attention should be given to locating a good vehicle ground.
Optimum radio performance can only be achieved with a ground
connection having a very low resistance.

The vehicle frame makes the best ground, but body structural
reinforcement members are also suitable for grounding purposes.

The ground lead should be as short as possible.

Operational Checks

When installation is complete, carefully check all operating functions (refer to the Operation section).

In case of malfunctioning, refer to Troubleshooting section in this manual.
