ANTENNA

Installation instructions for the antenna are packaged with the antenna.
The antenna mu st be in stalled i n acc ordanc e with goo d e ng ine e ri ng practi ce s
for optimum results.

The most effective mounting position is usually in the center of the roof
of the vehicle. The antenna cable will normally run from the radio, behind
sections of the interior trim to a door or window post. Then run the cable up
between the roof and headliner in the passenger compartment to the antenna
base.

Once the antenna is installed, connected it to the TNC connector at the
left rear of the radio.

HORN SPEAK ER (O PTION)

The horn spe a ke r may be use d as an ex te rna l spea ke r. It may be mounte d un-
der the hood, on the vehicle roof, or other suita ble loc a tion. T he horn
speaker option inc lud es hor n speake r and spea ke r cable assembl y.

Be careful to avoid damaging some vital part (fuel tank, transmission
housing, etc.) of the vehicle when drilling mounting holes. Always
check to see how far the mounting screws will extend below the
mountin g su rfa c e before instal ling.

It is suggested that you take advantage of the experience of one of the
many authorized Service Stations located throughout the United States by
having them install your radio and make the final adjustments. A typical in­stallati on is shown in Figure 2.

INSTALLATIONS IN VEHICL E S POWE RED BY L IQUE FIE D (LP) G AS

Interference with vehicular electronics - Electronic fuel injection
systems, ele ctron ic anti-ski d bra kin g system s, elect ron ic cruise c on­trol systems, etc. are typical of the types of elec tro nic de vice s which
may be prone to malfunction due to the lack of protection from ra­dio frequency energy present when transmitting. If the vehicle con­tains such equipment, consult the dealer for the make of vehicle for
help in determining if such electronic circuits will perform nor­mall y w he n the radi o is tr ansmitt ing.
