VHF/UHF MOBILE RADIO
MANDATORY SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS TO INSTALLERS AND USERS
Use Only manufacturer or dealer supplied antennas.
Antenna minimum safe distance: 108 cm.
Antennas used for this transmitter must not exceed an antenna gain of 3 dB.
The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to RF
energy which is below the OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Act) limits.
Antenna mounting: The antenna supplied by the manufacturer or radio dealer must not be mounted at a location
such that during radio transmission, any person can come closer than the above indicated minimum safe distance
to the antenna (i.e. 108cm).
To comply with current FCC RF Exposure limitations, the antenna must be installed at or exceeding the minimum
safe distance indicated above, and in accordance with the requirements to the antenna manufacturer or supplier.
Vehicle installation: The antenna can be mounted at the center of a vehicle metal roof or trunk lid if the minimum
safe distance is observed.
Antenna substitution: Don't substitute any antenna for the one supplied or recommended by the manufacturer
or radio dealer. You may be exposing person(s) to excessive radio frequency radiation. You may contact your radio
dealer or the manufacturer for further instructions.
Maintain a separation distance from the antenna to person(s) at least 108cm.
This transmitter is authorized to operate with a maximum duty factor of 50%, in a typical push-to-talk
mode, for satisfying FCC RF exposure compliance requirements.
Warning
Caution:
Changes or modifications not expressly approved
by the party responsible for compliance could void
the user's authority to operate the equipment.

First of all, please check whether there is a hole for the power cable on the insulating board. If no,
please bore the board with the suitable drill bit and fix a rubber grommet on it.
Afterwards, please have the cable pass through the insulating board and lead from the car into the
car engine. Connect the red conductor to the positive terminal of the accumulator and the black
conductor to the negative terminal.
At last, ring the remained conductor and fix it.
Note: Please maintain the sufficient relaxation of the power cable to make it convenient to dismantle
the radio in the state of power connection.
1.22 Radio Installing
Warning: For passengers’ safety, please fix the radio firmly on the fixed bracket so that the radio will
not be loosened in case of collision.
1） The fixed bracket is taken as an example. Draw the position and drill a hole on the instrument
panel first, and then install the fixed bracket with 4 M5*16 self-tapping screws. (Note: please fix
the radio at the position convenient for operation and control, and leave an enough space for
fixation and connection of the cable.)
2） Slide the radio into the fixed bracket and fix it with 4 M4*10 combination screws (plus plain
washer and spring washer). (Different combinations of fixing holes are selectable to adjust the
radio to the proper height and visual angle.)
3） Connect the antenna and the power cable to the radio.
4） Install the microphone hanger at the position easy to use, with 2 M4*16 self-tapping screws.
(The microphone and its cable should be fixed at the position not affecting safe driving.)
5） Connect the microphone to the microphone jack on the front panel of the radio and put it on the
hanger.
Note: When replacing the protective tube for the power cable, please use the one of the same
specification without fail. It is not allowed to change it into the tube of higher capacity.
