3-2. CONNECTION
3-2-1. Mobile Installations
Cautions:
1. Before installing the power cable disconnect the nega-
tive lead from the battery for safety.
2. After installation and wiring have been completed go
back and check your work to ensure that you have not
made any errors, before you reconnect the negative bat-
tery lead.
3. If the fuse opens be sure to check that each conductor
is undamaged, then replace the fuse with one of the same
rating.
4. After completing the wiring, wrap the fuse holder with
heat resistant tape to protect against heat and moisture.
5. Do not remove the fuse even if the power cable is too
long.
A. Battery Connections
Connect the power cable directly to the battery terminals.
Use of the cigarette lighter socket will lead to a poor con-
nection, and will result in poor performance. Pay close at-
tention to the polarity of the cables when connecting them
to the battery. Remember Red is positive and black is nega-
tive |
Make sure the positive (+) and negative (—) lead polarity is correct
when connecting to the battery.

B. Ignition Noise
This transceiver has been designed to suppress ignition
noise, however, you may occasionally encounter an instal-
lation where the use of suppressor type plugs might be called
for.
3-2-2. Fixed Station
A regulated DC power Supply (13.8 VDC) capable of sup-
plying at least 7 Amperes is required. The PS-430 or the
PS-50 are recommended.
CAUTION:
1. Never connect the AC power cable of the power supply
to the AC outlet until all other connections have been made.
