Mobile Installation
To minimize voltage drop and avoid blowing the vehicle's fuses, connect the sup-
plied DC power cable directly to the battery terminals. Do not attempt to defeat or
bypass the DC cable's fuse - it is there to protect you, your transceiver, and your
vehicle's electrical system.
Warning! Never apply AC power to the power cable of the VX-4600CB ,
nor DC voltage greater than 15.8 Volts. When replacing the fuse, only use
a 15-A fuse. Failure to observe these safety precautions will void the Limited War-
ranty on this product.
Before connecting the VX-4600CB , check the voltage at the battery terminals
while revving the engine. If the voltage exceeds 15 Volts, adjust the vehicle's
voltage regulator before proceeding with installation.
Connect the RED power cable lead to the POSITIVE (+) battery terminal,
and the BLACK power cable lead to the NEGATIVE (–) terminal. If you
need to extend the power cable, use #12 AWG or larger insulated, stranded
copper wire. Solder the splice connections carefully, and wrap the connections
thoroughly with insulating electrical tape.
Before connecting the cable to the transceiver, verify the voltage and polarity
of the voltage at the transceiver end of the DC cable using a DC voltmeter.
Now connect the transceiver to the DC cable.
