Reverse polarity battery connections will damage the radio!
Connect the power cord and antenna to the radio. Antenna and Power Supply
connections are as follows:
1. Mount the antenna at least 3 feet (1 m) away from the radio. At the rear of
the radio, connect the antenna cable. The antenna cable must have a PL259
connector attached. RG-8/U coaxial cable must be used if the antenna is 25
feet (7.6 m) or more from the radio. RG58 cable can be used for distances
less than 25 feet (7.6 m).
2. Connect the red power wire to a 13.8 VDC ±20% power source. Connect
the black power wire to a negative ground.
3. If an optional remote extension speaker is to be used, refer to section 6.5
for connections.
4. It is advisable to have a Certified Marine Technician check the power output
and the standing wave ratio of the antenna after installation.

To take out the fuse from the fuse holder, hold
both ends of the fuse holder and pull the fuse
holder apart without bending the fuse holder.
When you replace the fuse, please confirm that
the fuse is tightly fixed on the metal contact
