Power Cable Connection

THE TRANSCEIVER OPERATES IN 12 V NEGATIVE GROUND SYSTEMS ONLY!
CAUTION:
CHECK THE BATTERY POLARITY AND VOLTAGE OF THE VEHICLE BEFORE INSTALLING THE
TRANSCEIVER.
1 Check for an existing hole, conveniently located in the firewall, where the
power cable can be passed through.
• If no hole exists, use a circle cutter to drill the firewall, then install a rubber
grommet.
2 Run the two power cable leads through the fire wall and into the engine
compartment, from the passenger compartment.
3 Connect the red lead to the positive (+) battery terminal and the black lead
to the negative (–) battery terminal.
• Locate the fuse as close to the battery as possible.
4 Coil and secure the surplus cable with the provided retaining band.
• Be sure to leave enough slack in the cables so the transceiver can be removed
for servicing while keeping the power applied.
