3. Route the cable as required, fitting grommets where necessary to prevent chafing of the cable
insulation.
4. Fit the red connector to the printed circuit board socket – the connector is shaped so that it can be
fitted in the correct orientation only.
5. Refit the cable to the cable clamp on the rear cover and slip the two nuts into the receptacles at
each end of the rear cover.
6. Refit the rear cover and replace the cover screws, tightening them carefully. Do not overtighten
the screws.
The control head can now be installed as follows:
1. Mount the bracket for the control panel on a flat surface using the self-tapping screws supplied.
2. Place the control head in the bracket, position it for a good viewing angle, and fit the 2 screws to
secure it in place.
Microphone Clip
The microphone clip must be earthed (to the negative supply line) if hookswitch control of monitor-
ing, scanning or call termination is to operate. Refer to the radio’s operating instructions to confirm
requirements.
Ensure that the microphone clip is mounted in a position where the microphone PTT key cannot be
inadvertently activated or jammed on.
Installation Checks
1. Plug the microphone into the socket on the lower left-hand corner of the radio’s front
2. Insert the fuses into the power lead.
3. Switch on the radio and confirm that it is operational.
4. Connect an in-line power meter between the radio and the antenna and measure the forward
and reflected power levels. Less than 1W should be reflected for 25W forward power. If this is
not achieved, check the installation - including antenna length.
5. Make a call to another party on the radio (as described in the operating instructions).
