when the engine is OFF, the battery may become discharged and will not have sufficient
reserves to start the vehicle. Avoid using the radio in these conditions.

INSTALLATION
DC POWER CABLE CONNECTION
This radio is designed to operate on 12 Volt systems. Never connect to a 24 Volt system
without reducing to 12 Volts. If the power supply is lower than 12 Volts, the display may
darken during transmissions, transmit power may decrease dramatically, and/or, the radio
may reboot.
Note:
Loose or poor connections can also cause this.
1. Route the DC power cable supplied with the radio directly to the vehicle’s battery
terminals using the shortest path from the radio. We suggest you do not use the
cigarette lighter socket as some cigarette lighter sockets introduce an unacceptable
voltage drop. The entire length of the cable must be routed so it is isolated from heat,
moisture and the engine secondary (high voltage) ignition system, componets, or
cables.
2. Confirm the correct polarity of the connections, then attach the power cable to the
battery terminals: Red connects to the positive (+) terminal and black connects to the
negative (-) terminal.
Note:
Connecting the power cables incorrectly will damage the
radio!
3. Connect the DC power cable to the radio’s power supply connector. Press the
connectors firmly together until the locking tab clicks.
