INSTALLATION

n Mobile Installation

1 Clean and dry the installation location.

Do not install the bracket close to an air bag.

2 Remove the release paper from the base

of the panel bracket, then secure it in place using the 3 supplied self-tapping screws.

• Allow the panel to set for a while, to ensure it remains fast. Otherwise, vibrations may occur.

• After removing the release paper, it cannot be reused.

3 Attach the panel holder to the panel

bracket using the 2 supplied SEMS screws.

4 Attach the RC-D710 to the panel holder

so that it locks in place.

n Fixed Station

1 Attach the panel holder to the base

stand using the 2 supplied SEMS screws.

2 Attach the RC-D710 to the panel

holder so that it locks in place.

n Power Cable Connection (PG-5J)

Fixed Station In order to use the PG-5J for fixed station operation, you will need a separate

13.8 V DC power supply that must be purchased separately.

Note: Do not plug the DC power supply into an AC outlet until you make all connections.

Mobile Installation Be sure to use a 12 V vehicle battery that has sufficient current capacity. If the

current to the PG-5J is insufficient, the display may darken during transmission or the transmit output power may drop excessively. Never connect the transceiver to a 24 V battery.

Note: Install the PG-5J Interface Box using the included screw set in a location where it will not interfere with driving.

n Replacing Fuses (PG-5J)

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 Kenwood dealer or an authorized Kenwood service center for assistance.

Only use fuses of the specified type and rating; otherwise the PG-5J could be damaged.
