MOBILE INSTALLATION
www.AT-588UV.com
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) and at washers (4pcs).

Washer (M5)
Tapping screw
(M5X20mm)
Initial Installation
Determine the appropriate angle of the transceiver, using the 3
screw hole positions on the side of the mounting bracket.

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
3.
connection with negative (-) of battery, then connect with radio.
Conrm 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.
Reconnect any wiring removed from the negative terminal.

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.
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.

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
servicecenter for assistance.

Supplied Accessory DC
power cable
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.
20A
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
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:

For voice communications, connect a microphone equipped with
an 8-pin modular plug into the modular socket on the front of the
