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:

• 1/4 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.

1 Check for an existing hole, conveniently located in the rewall, where a power

cable can be passed through. If no hole exists, use a circle cutter to drill the

rewall, then install a rubber grommet.

2 Run the two power cable leads through the rewall and into the engine

compartment, from the passenger compartment.

3 Connect 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.

4 Coil 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.
