Ground Information

This transceiver may be installed and used in any 12-volt DC negative ground

system vehicle.

Negative Ground System

With a negative ground system, the negative (-) battery terminal is

usually connected to the vehicle motor block.

Connect the red DC power cord from the

transceiver to the positive (+) battery terminal

or other convenient point. Then connect the

black power cord to the vehicle chassis or negative (-) battery terminal.

The Bearcat 880CHR is pre-configured for Uniden's 6-pin wireless, noise-

cancelling technology. Your Bearcat 880CHR comes with an adapter

to connect the radio's 6-pin microphone to a current standard 4-pin

microphone.

1. Insert the 6-pin side of the adapter into the Bearcat 880CHR 6-pin

microphone connection.

2. Plug a standard 4-pin microphone connector into the 4-pin side

of the adapter.

Consult your dealer for information regarding marine installation. It is

important to adequately ground the system and to prevent electrolysis

between the fittings in the hull and the water.

Be sure that the power source, antenna, and microphone are properly connected

before proceeding.

1. Turn unit on. Set volume to a comfortable level.
