POWER AND OTHER CONNECTIONS
This transceiver may be installed and used in any 12 volt DC negative or
positive earth system vehicle.
Most newer Australian and imported cars and small trucks use a nagative
earth system while some older cars and some newer large trucks may use
a positive earth system.
A negative earth system is generally identified by the — battery terminal
being connected to the vehicle motor block, but if you can not determine
the polarity system of your vehicle, it is suggested that you consult your
vehicle dealer for definite information.
Negative Earth System
Connect the Red power cable from the transceiver to the positive or +
battery terminal or other convenient point and connect the Brown power
cable to the chassis or vehicle frame or — battery terminal.
Positive Earth System
Connect the Brown power cable from the transceiver to the negative or —
battery terminal or other convenient point and connect the Red power cable
to the chassis or vehicle frame or + battery terminal.
With regard to the Connection of the power cables, it may be possible or
desirable to connect power cables to the ignition switch accessory terminal
so that the transceiver is automatically turned off when the ignition switch
(key) is turned off.
Connect the antenna system to* ANTENNA CONNECTOR. If you are using
an external speaker or PA speaker, connect them to the appropriate jacks.
ANTENNA INSTALLATION
Your transceiver is designed to operate with any good quality Citizens Band
mobile antenna. The type of antenna you should use depends largely upon
how and where the antenna is to be mounted and the radiation pattern
desired or required. Sanyo retailers are qualified to assist you in the selection
of the proper type of antenna to meet your needs.
A vertical whip antenna is best suited for mobile use. A non-directional
antenna should be used for best results in any case. The base loaded whip
antenna will normally provide effective communication. For greater range
and more reliable operation, a full quarter wave whip should be used. Either
of these antennas use the metal car body as a ground plane and the shield of
the base lead as well as the metal case of the transceiver should be grounded.
A standard antenna socket (S0-239) is provided on the rear panel for easy
connection of a standard PL-259 antenna cable termination.
