INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Do not attempt to operate your Transceiver without an Antenna or dummy-load connected
to the ANTENNA jack. To do so may damage your Transceiver.
For fixed or base station operation, simply connect the DC power cable to a source•of 12 volts DC
power and plug into the back of the Transceiver. The only other thing you require is an Antenna con-
nection.
Safety and convenience are the primary considerations for mounting any piece of mobile equipment. All
controls must be readily available to the operator without interfering with the movements necessary for
safe operation of the vehicle. Be sure all cables are clear of the brake, clutch and accelerator. Also,
thought must be given to the convenience of passengers (will they have adequate leg room?).
Another extremely important requirement is the ease of installation and removal (for service and main-
tenance). Mount the transceiver so it can be slipped in and out very easily.
The most common mounting position for a transceiver of this size is under the dashboard directly over
the driveshaft hump. Do not mount the transceiver in the path of the heater or airconditioning air
stream. Be sure the chassis of the transceiver is electrically connected to the ground system of the
vehicle or boat. Use a separate ground wire to be sure.
When you have determined the best location for mounting, use the Mobile Mounting Bracket as a
template to mark mounting holes. Take care when you drill holes that you do not drill into wiring, trim
or other accessories. Mount in position with bolts, lockwashers and nuts or self-threading screws.
