WARNING!
INTERFERENCE WITH VEHICULAR ELECTRONICS – Electronic
fuel injection systems, electronic anti-skid braking systems, electronic
cruise control systems, etc., are typical of the types of electronic devices
which may be prone to malfunction due to lack of protection from radio
frequency energy present when transmitting. If the vehicle contains such
equipment, consult the dealer for the make of the vehicle and enlist his aid
in determining if such electronic circuits will perform normally when the
radio is transmitting.

RADIOS INSTALLED IN VEHICLES
POWERED BY LIQUEFIED (LP) GAS
WARNING
Radio installations in vehicles powered by liquefied petroleum gas must
conform to the following requirements.
Radio installations in vehicles powered by liquefied petroleum gas with the LPgas container in the trunk or other sealed-off space within the interior of the
vehicle must conform to the National Fire Protection Association Standard
NFPA 58 that requires that:
•
The space containing radio equipment shall be isolated by a seal from the
space containing the LP-gas container and its fittings.
•
Outside filling connections shall be used for the LP-gas container.
•
The LP-gas container space shall be vented to the outside of the
vehicle.
RUNNING CABLES
To assure the feasib ility of the cab le r outings you pla n to use , it is suggested that
you run the cables before mounting the radio. Be sure to leave some slack in
each cable going to the radio so that the radio may be pulled out for servicing
with the power applied.
Try to route the cables away from locations where they will be exposed to heat
(exhaust pipes, mufflers, tailpipes, etc.), battery acid, sharp edges, or mechanical
damage or where they will be a nuisance to automobile mechanics, the driver, or
passengers. Keep wiring away from electronic computer modules, other
electronic modules, and ignition circuits to help prevent interference to these
components and radio equipment.
In addition, try to utilize existing holes in the firewall and trunk wall and the
channels above or beneath the doors. You may also use the channels through
door and window columns, where they are convenient for running cable s, unless
you plan to install rigid or flexible conduit in which to run the cables.
POWER CABLE
The Power Cable is supplied for negative ground systems only. It consists of a
fused red lead, a black lead, and a fused yellow lead (ignition switch control).
To install the Power Cable, run the red and black leads to the vehicle battery and
the yellow lead to the ignition switch. If an existing hole is not conveniently
located on the driver’s side firewall for the passage of the Power Cable through
