1. Connect the BLACK wire of the power
cable to the NEGATIVE (-) side of your
power source.
2. Connect the RED wire of the power
cable to the POSITIVE (+) side of your
power source.
3. NOTE: To extend the life of the radio,
use waterproof tape to seal electrical
connections.
4. Install your antenna according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
5. If necessary, consult the FCC guide-
lines for antenna separation. See An-
tenna Selection and Installation on page 51 for more details. (In summary, the FCC rec-
ommends that antennas up to 3 dB be installed a minimum of 3 feet from any occupied
location; antennas over 3 dB should be installed at least 6 feet away.)
6. Connect the PL-259 connector from the antenna lead-in wires to the SO238 connector
labeled ANTENNA on the back of your radio.
Connecting to a GPs receiver
If you connect the radio to a GPS receiver, the radio can automatically transmit your current
position during an automated distress call or during a normal DSC call.
Your radio supports a standard NMEA0183 input from a GPS receiver. Follow the steps be-
low to connect your radio to your GPS receiver:
