The
FTM-10SR
must only be installed in vehicles having a 13.8 Volt negative ground
electrical system. Mount the transceiver where the display, controls, and microphone are
easily accessible.
The transceiver may be installed in almost any location, but should not be positioned near
a heating vent or anywhere where it might interfere with driving (either visually or me-
chanically). Make sure to provide plenty of space on all sides of the transceiver so that air
can flow freely around the radio’s case.
An antenna and an antenna cable are not included in the box. Purchase them separately to
accommodate your transceiver installation.
U
The DC power cable draws a large current when transmitting. The DC power cable
connected directly to the battery. (Do not use the cigarette lighter socket for power
connections).
U
Never remove the fuse holders from the DC cables
U
Never connect the transceiver directly to a 24 V battery.
U
Select a low-loss coaxial cable to connect the transceiver with the antenna. Use the
shortest length possible.
U
Select a quality, high efficiency VHF/UHF antenna, and mount it in a good location on
the car to obtain the maximum performance from the transceiver. (NOTE: An antenna
designed with a matching device that forms a low DC resistance to ground may have
poor reception on the AM broadcast band.)
U
The antenna depends on good grounding to realize maximum performance. Contact
your dealer for information on transceiver and antenna installation.
U
If alternator noise exists, use a line filter in the DC power cable connection.
IMPORTANT
: Select a location which can support the weight of the
FTM-10SR
trans-
ceiver and does not interfere with your driving.
