Power Connection - Yaesu FTM-3200DR Operating Manual

Installation

Power connection

To minimize voltage drop and avoid blowing the vehicle's fuses, connect the supplied
DC power cable directly to the battery terminals. Do not attempt to defeat or bypass the
DC cable's fuse - it is there to protect you, your transceiver, and your vehicle's electrical
system.
Never apply AC power to the power cable of the FTM-3200DR, nor DC voltage
greater than 15.8 Volts. When replacing the fuse, only use a 25-A fuse. Failure to
observe these safety precautions will void the Limited Warranty on this product.
Before connecting the transceiver, check the voltage at the battery terminals while revving
the engine. If the voltage exceeds 15 Volts, adjust the vehicle's voltage regulator before
proceeding with installation.
Connect the RED power cable lead to the POSITIVE ( + ) battery terminal, and the BLACK
power cable lead to the NEGATIVE ( – ) terminal. If you need to extend the power cable,use
#12 AWG or larger insulated, stranded copper wire. Solder the splice connections
carefully, and wrap the connections thoroughly with insulating electrical tape.
Before connecting the cable to the transceiver, verify the voltage and polarity of the
voltage at the transceiver end of the DC cable using a DC voltmeter. Now connect the
transceiver to the DC cable.
