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-1.

tapping screws (4pcs), at washers (4pcs), and spring washers

(4pcs).

The bracket must be installed so that the 3 screw hole positions •
on the side of the mounting bracket are towards the rear of
the bracket.

Self-tapping screw (5mmX16mm)

Spring washer

Position the transceiver, then insert and tighten the supplied 2.

hexagon SEMS screws and at washers.

Double check that all hardware is tightened to prevent vehicle •
vibration from loosening the bracket or transceiver.

DC Power Cable Connection

Note:

Locate the power input connector as close to the transceiver as
possible.

Mobile Operation

♦

The vehicle battery mu st have a nominal rating of 12 V. Never
connect the transceiver to a 24 V 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 transmit output power may drop excessively.

Route the DC power cable supplied with the transceiver directly to 1.
the vehicle's battery terminals using the shortest path from the
transceiver.

If using a noise filter, it should be installed with an insulator •
to prevent it from touching metal on the vehicle.

We recommend you do not use the cigarette lighter socket as som e •
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 the cable is in place, wrap heat-resistant tape around the 2.
fuse holder to protect it from moisture and tie down the full run of
cable.

To prevent the risk of short circuits, disconnect other wiring from 3.
the negative (-) battery terminal before connecting the transceiver.

PREPARATION

Confirm the correct polarity of the connections, then attach the 4.
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 xed station 1 operation, you will

need a separate 13.8 V DC power supply (not included).
The recommended current capacity of your power supply is 12 A.

Connect the DC power cable to the regulated DC power supply 1.
and ensure that the polarities are correct (Red: positive, Black:
negative).

Do not directly connect the transceiver to an AC outlet. •
Use the supplied DC power cable to connect the transceiver to •
a regulated power supply.
Do not substitute a cable with smaller gauge wires.•

Note:

Before connecting the DC power to the transceiver , be sure to
switch the transceiver and the DC power supply OFF.

Do not plug the DC power supply into an AC outlet until you make
all connections.

Replacing Fuses

♦

If the fuse blows, determine the cause, then correct the problem.
After the problem is resolved, replace the fuse. If newly installed fuses
continue to blow, disconnect the power cable and contact your autho­rized dealer or an authorized service
center for assistance.

Caution:

Only use fuses of the specified type and rating; otherwise the
transceiver could be damaged.

Note:

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 discharged, and will not have sufcient reserves to start

the vehicle.
Avoid using the transceiver in these conditions.

20A

Antenna Connection

Before operating, install an efcient, 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 an impedance other than 50Ω reduces the efciency of

the antenna system and can cause interference to nearby broadcast
television receivers, radio receivers, and other electronic equipment.

Note:

Transmitting without first connecting an antenna or other •
matched load may damage the transceiver. Always connect the

PREPARATION

antenna to the transceiver before transmitting.

All fixed 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.
