PREPARATION
Various electronic equipment in your vehicle may malfunction if they are not properly protected from the radio frequency energy which is present while transmitting. Electronic fuel injection, antiskid braking, and cruise control systems are typical examples of equipment that may malfunction.
If your vehicle contains such equipment, consult the dealer for the make of vehicle and enlist his/her aid in determining if they will perform normally while transmitting.
Note: The following preparation instructions are for use by your Kenwood dealer, an authorized Kenwood service facility, or the factory.
ToolS required
Note: Before installing the transceiver, always check how far the mounting screws will extend below the mounting surface. When drilling mounting holes, be careful not to damage vehicle wiring or parts.
The following tools are required for installing the transceiver:
•/4 inch (6 mm) or larger electric drill
•5/32 inch (4.2 mm) drill bit for the self-tapping screws used to mount the optional mounting bracket
•Circle cutters
power cAble connecTion
The transceiver operates in 12 V negative ground systems only! Check the battery polarity and voltage of the vehicle before installing the transceiver.
Use only a Kenwood optional DC power cable.
Do not cut and/or remove the fuse holder on the DC power cable.
1Check for an existing hole, conveniently located in the firewall, where a power cable can be passed through. If no hole exists, use a circle cutter to drill the firewall, then install a rubber grommet.
2Run the two power cable leads through the firewall and into the engine compartment, from the passenger compartment.
3Connect the red lead to the positive (+) battery terminal and the black lead to the negative (–) battery terminal.
•Locate the fuse as close to the battery as possible.
4Coil and secure the surplus cable with a retaining band.
•Be sure to leave enough slack in the cables so the transceiver can be removed for servicing while keeping the power applied.
2
inSTAlling The TrAnSceiver
For passenger safety, install the transceiver securely using an optional mounting bracket and screw set so the transceiver will not break loose in the event of a collision.
1Mark the position of the holes in the dash by using the mounting bracket as a template. Drill the holes, then attach the mounting bracket using self-tapping screws.
•Be sure to mount the transceiver in a location where the controls are within easy reach of the user and where there is sufficient space at the rear of the transceiver for cable connections.
2Connect the antenna and power cable to the transceiver.
3Slide the transceiver into the mounting bracket and secure it using hex-headed screws.
4Mount a microphone hanger in a location where it will be within easy reach of the user.
•The microphone and microphone cable should be mounted in a location where it will not interfere with the safe operation of the vehicle.
When replacing the fuse in the DC power cable, be sure to replace it with a fuse of the same value. Never replace a fuse with a fuse that has a higher value.
