MOBILE INSTALLATION
■ TX/ RX Unit Installation
Select a safe, convenient location inside your vehicle that will minimize danger
to your passengers and yourself while the vehicle is in motion. Consider
installing the transceiver under the dash in front of the passenger seat so that
knees or legs will not strike the radio during sudden braking of your vehicle.
Try to a pick well-ventilated location that is shielded from direct sunlight.
Note: You may experience interference on the GPS receiver when using in or around
438.8 MHz (A band) and/or 443.8 MHz (B band). To eliminate the interference, ensure that the
TX/RX unit is installed at a location separate from the Operation Panel.
1 Install the mounting bracket in the vehicle using the supplied self-tapping
screws and fl at washers (4 of each are supplied).
• The bracket can be mounted with the bracket opening facing down, for under
dash mounting, or facing up.
• The bracket must be installed so that the 3 screw slots on the edge of each
bracket side are facing the back.
2 Position the transceiver, then insert and tighten the supplied hexagon
SEMS screws and fl at washers (4 of each are supplied, 2 for each side of
the bracket).
• Ensure that all hardware is tightened, to prevent vehicle vibration from
loosening the bracket or TX/ RX unit.

holder so that it locks in place.
■ Power Cable Connection
Be sure to use a 12 V vehicle battery that has suffi cient current capacity. If
the current to the transceiver is insuffi cient, the display may darken during
transmission or the transmit output power may drop excessively. Never
connect the transceiver to a 24 V battery.

Note: If you use the transceiver for a long period when the vehicle battery is not fully charged
or when the engine is OFF, the battery may become discharged and will not have suffi cient
reserves to start the vehicle. Avoid using the transceiver under these conditions.
1 Route the DC power cable supplied with the transceiver directly to the
vehicle’s battery terminals using the shortest path from the transceiver.
• When using a noise fi lter, it should be installed with an insulator to prevent it
from touching metal on the vehicle.
• We do not recommend using a cigarette lighter socket as some cigarette lighter
sockets introduce an unacceptable voltage drop.
• If the power cable must be routed through a hole in the vehicle chassis or body,
for example in the fi rewall at the front of the passenger compartment, use a
rubber grommet to protect the cable from abrasion. Dismantle the fuse holder to
pass the cable through the fi rewall.
• The entire length of the cable must be dressed so it is isolated from heat,
moisture, and the engine secondary (high voltage) ignition system/ cables.
2 After the cable is in place, wind heat-resistant tape around the fuse holder
to protect it from moisture. Tie down the full run of cable.
3 To prevent the risk of short circuits, disconnect other wiring from the
negative (–) battery terminal before connecting the transceiver.

ANTENNA CONNECTION
Before operating, you must fi rst install an effi cient, well-tuned antenna. The
success of your installation will depend largely on the type of antenna and its
correct installation. The transceiver can give excellent results if the antenna
system and its installation are given careful attention.
Use a low-loss coaxial feed line that also has a characteristic impedance of
50 , to match the transceiver input impedance. Coupling the antenna to the
transceiver via feed lines having an impedance other than 50 reduces the
effi ciency of the antenna system and can cause interference to nearby broadcast
television receivers, radio receivers, and other electronic equipment.
◆ Transmitting without fi rst connecting an antenna or other matched load may damage the
transceiver. Always connect the antenna to the transceiver before transmitting.
◆ All fi xed stations should be equipped with a lightning arrester to reduce the risk of fi re, electric
shock, and/or transceiver damage.
