INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS

■ Battery connections

• RWARNING! NEVER connect to a battery with-
out supplying a DC fuse, otherwise a fire hazard
could occur.
• NEVER connect the transceiver to a 24 V battery.
The transceiver may not receive well on some fre-
quencies when installed in a hybrid vehicle, or any
type of electric vehicle (fuel cell vehicle). This is be-
cause vehicle's electric components such as the
inverter system generate a lot of electric noise.

• DO NOT use a cigarette lighter socket as a power
source when operating in a vehicle. The plug may
cause voltage drops and ignition noise may be
superimposed onto transmit or receive audio.
• Use a rubber grommet when passing the DC
power cable through a metal plate to prevent a
short circuit.
The IC-7200 is not certified for vehicle installation
in European countries.
