Initial Installation
MOBILE INSTALLATION
To install the transceiver, select a safe, convenient location inside your
vehicle that minimizes danger to your passengers and yourself while the
vehicle is in motion. Consider installing the unit at an appropriate position
so that knees or legs will not strike it during sudden braking of your
vehicle. Try to pick a well ventilated location that is shielded from direct
sunlight.
Install the mounting bracket in the vehicle using the supplied self-

DC POWER CABLE CONNECTION
Locate the power input connector as close to the transceiver as possible.
NOTE
MOBILE OPERATION
The vehicle battery must have a nominal rating of 12V. Never
connect the transceiver to a 24V battery. Be sure to use a 12V
vehicle battery that has sufficient current capacity. If the current
to the transceiver is insufficient, the display may darken during
transmission, or transmitting output power may drop excessively.
Route the DC power cable supplied with the transceiver directly
1.
to the vehicle's battery terminals using the shortest path from the
transceiver.
We recommend 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 dressed so it is isolated
from heat, moisture, and the engine secondary (high voltage)
ignition system/ cables.
After installing cable, in order to avoid the risk of damp, please
2.
use heat-resistant tap to tie together with fuse box. Don't forget
to reinforce whole cable.
In order to avoid the risk of short circuit, please cut down

connection with negative (-) of battery, then connect with radio.
Conrm 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.
Use the full length of the cable without cutting off excess even
if the cable is longer than required. In particular, never remove
the fuse holders from the cable.

FIXED STATION OPERATION
In order to use this transceiver for fixed station operation, you
will need a separate 13.8V DC power supply (not included) , power
supply( QRP-01) as optional accessories. Please contact local
dealer to require.
The recommended current capacity of your power supply is 12A.

an impedance other than 50Ω reduces the efficiency of the antenna
system and can cause interference to nearby broadcast television
receivers, radio receivers, and other electronic equipment.
Transmitting without first connecting an antenna or other
matched load may damage the transceiver. Always connect
the antenna to the transceiver before transmitting.
NOTE
All xed stations should be equipped with a lightning arrester to
reduce the risk of re, electric shock, and transceiver damage.
The possible locations of antenna on a car are shown as following:

Only use fuses of the specified type and rating, otherwise the
transceiver could be damaged.
If you use the transceiver for a long period when the vehicle battery is
not fully charged, or when the engine is OFF, the battery may become
NOTE
discharged, and will not have sufcient reserves to start the vehicle. Avoid
using the transceiver in these conditions.
ANTENNA CONNECTION
Before operating, install an efcient, well-tuned antenna. The success
of your installation will depend largely on the type of antenna and its
correct installation. The transceiver can give excellent results if the
antenna system and its installation are given careful attention.
Use a 50Ω impedance antenna and low-loss coaxial feed-line that
has a characteristic impedance of 50 Ω, to match the transceiver input
impedance. Coupling the antenna to the transceiver via feed-lines having

This radio generates RF electromagnetic energy during transmission.
This radio is designed for and classified as “Occupational Use Only”,
meaning it must be used only during the course of employment by
individuals aware of the hazards, and the ways to minimize such
hazards.This radio is NOT intended for use by the “GeneralPopulation”
in an uncontrolled environment.
• For compliance with FCC and Industry Canada RF Exposure
Requirements, the transmitter antenna installation shall comply with the
following two conditions:
1.The transmitter antenna gain shall not exceed 0 dBi.
2.The antenna is required to be located outside of a vehicle and kept at
a distance of 63 centimeters or more between the trans-mitting
antenna of this device and any persons during operation.For small
vehicle as worst case, the antenna shall be located on the roof top at
any place on the centre line along the vehicle in order to achieve 63
centimeters separation distance. In order to ensure this distance
is met, the installation of the antenna must be mounted at least 63
centimeters away from the nearest edge of the vehicle in order to protect
against exposure to bystanders.
CAUTION:
To ensure that your exposure to RF electromag-netic energy is within
the FCC allowable limits for occupationaluse, always adhere to the
following guidelines:
DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as
•
this may damage the radio and may also cause you to exceed FCC
INFORMATION
RF exposure limits. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with this
radio by the manufacturer or an antenna specifically authorizedby the
manufacturer for use with this radio.
In order to comply with RF exposure
requirements, a minimum distance of 200 cm must be maintained between
the antenna and all persons
DO NOT transmit for more than 50% during the time of employment
•
(50% duty cycle or less). Transmitting excessive amount of time can
cause RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. Please
carefully read this instruction manual to learn how to transmit and stop
transmitting before starting to use it.
Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
During transmissions, your radio generates RF energy that can
possibly cause interference with other devices or systems. To avoid
such interference, turn off the radio in areas where signs are posted to
do so. DO NOT operate the transmitter in areas that are sensitive to
electromagnetic radiation such as hospitals, aircraft, and blasting sites.
Occupational/Controlled Use
This product is used in situations that users are exposed to RF as
consequence of their employment provided those users are fully aware
of the potential RF hazards and can exercise control over their exposure.
This transceiver is NOT ATEX approved and NOT intended for the use
•
in hazardous explosive atmospheres.
