INSTALLATION

CAUTION

When installing your radio in your vehicle, check that during installation you do not damage any wiring or vehicle components that may be hidden around the mounting position.

If you are unsure about how to install your radio, we suggest for optimum performance you have your radio professionally installed by a UHF specialist or Auto electrician. When installing the radio, avoid mounting it close to heaters or air conditioners. Do not press the PTT or CALL button before installing the

antenna.

Screw the mounting bracket and the remote head bracket to rm surfaces.

To install the Radio;

1. Fix the radio bracket in a suitable location.

2. Then x the radio in the bracket using the thumb screws.

Note

The radio contains a built-in loud speaker, The radio can be installed ‘out of the way’ and an external speaker can be used as an alternative (not supplied).

To mount the Remote Head (UHF100)

The remote head is supplied with a slim mounting bracket and thumb screws.

Its small size and light weight design allows it to be mounted in almost any convenient position accessible to the driver.

Installation

1. Fix the mounting bracket in place by screwing through the slots in the

bracket.

2. Fix the remote head unit to the mounting bracket with the thumb screws

provided.

3. Connect the standard microphone to the remote head socket, and tighten up

the thumb screw.

same time gently pull the plug from the socket (see previous page).

Controller Speaker Microphone; part number, CSPKMIC

Standard Microphone; part number, MIC050

These can be purchased from the dealer you purchased the radio from or directly from Oricom.

DC Power Connection

The Radio is designed for 13.8 Volt DC, negative earth installations only (i.e. where the negative battery terminal connects to the chassis of the vehicle).

For installation on 24 volt systems an inverter (not supplied) will need to be used.

There are two possible methods of installation.

Over voltage protection

The radio has a high voltage input detection system, to warn you if an overvoltage situation occurs.

Eg.: If the power supply voltage exceeds 17volts DC, the channel display (LCD backlight) will ash in 3 different colors when the unit is turned on.

In additon, when transmitting, the TX indicator will automatically select a low power output.

If the overvoltage warning appears, you must switch your radio off and disconnect it from the power source, before locating the cause of the trouble. The power source must not exceed 30volts.

Installation

Radio stays ON when the ignition is switched OFF

Connect the radio's negative (black) lead to the vehicle chassis, or directly to the batteries negative terminal.

Connect the radio's positive (red) lead via the 2 Amp fuse to the battery's positive terminal. Alternatively, the positive lead could be connected at the fuse box at a point that has +13.8 Volts continuously available (preferably the battery side of the ignition switch) via the 2 Amp fuse.

Radio turns OFF with the ignition switch

Connect the radio's negative (black) lead to the vehicle's chassis, or directly to the batteries negative terminal.

The radio's positive (red) lead should connect to an accessory point in the vehicle's fuse box via the 2 Amp fuse.

Antenna information

The antenna (not supplied) is of critical importance, to maximize your output power and receiver senstivity.

A poor quality antenna or one not designed for the specic frequency band you are using will give poor performance. You should purchase an antenna designed for the 477MHz frequency band.

Antenna installation

1. Connect the antenna to the rear antenna socket using a PL259 coaxial connector.

2. To obtain maximum performance from the radio, select a high quality antenna

and mount it in a good location. Do not press the PTT or CALL button

before installing the antenna.
