MOUNT INSTALLATION
NOTE: Disconnecting your battery may reset certain
devices in your vehicle, such as automotive audio
systems, navigation systems, alarm systems, keyless
entry systems, etc.
Route the supplied DC power cord between a power
source and the mounting location for your scanner.
Ground the black wire of the supplied DC power cable
to your vehicle's chassis, drilling a small hole in a metal
frame member underneath your dashboard and using
a small sheet metal screw to secure the black wire to
the frame.
NOTE: Be sure the grounding screw makes complete
contact with the metal frame of your vehicle.
Connect the red wire of the supplied DC power cable
to a voltage source that turns on and off with ignition
switch, such as a spare accessory terminal in your
vehicle's fuse box.
Insert the coaxial power plug into the DC 13.8V jack
on the rear of the radio. Reconnect the cable to the
negative (-) terminal of your vehicle's battery.
The DC power cord is equipped with an inline fuse.
This fuse protects your scanner and your vehicle from
damage in case of equipment malfunction or a short
circuit. Do not remove the inline fuse holder from
the DC power cord. If the fuse blows, replace it with a
3A slow blow fuse and apply power again. If the fuse
blows again, check all wiring for short circuits, and
check the radio for a malfunction.
WARNING: You must use a power source that supplies
12-14.4V DC and is rated for 600mA. The power plug's
center tip must be set to positive and must fit the
scanner's DC 13.8V jack. The supplied DC power cable
meets these specifications. Using a DC adapter that
does not meet these specifications could damage the
scanner or the adapter.
