Installation Manual
Control/Power Cable Installation
The control/power cable provides interconnection of
the transceiver, handset, microphone (if equipped),
and the external speaker (if equipped). See Figure 26
for installation diagram. Install the control/power cable
as follows:
Step 1 Route the control/power cable as previously
specified. Do not pull on the connector
housings while routing the cable.
Step 2 Install and route the antenna coaxial cable as
previously noted. Connect the coaxial cable to
the transceiver and to the antenna.
Step 3 Remove all fuses and tape them to their
respective holders.
Step 4 Bolt the black lead(s) of the power/control
cable to a suitable grounded point on the
vehicle frame using the ring lug provided.
NOTE Special attention should be given to locating a
good vehicle ground. Optimum radio performance can
only be achieved with a ground connection having a
very low resistance. The vehicle frame makes the best
ground, but body structural reinforcement members
are also suitable for grounding purposes. Verify that
the connections between the battery negative
terminal, vehicle chassis, and engine block have low
resistance. If it becomes necessary to run the black
lead to the battery, the lead must be fused with a 10-
amp fuse.
