INITIAL INSTALLATION

1. Mobile Installation
To install the transceiver, select a safe, convenient location inside your vehicle that minimizes
danger to your passengers and yourself while the vehicle is in motion. Consider installing the
unit at an appropriate position so that knees or legs will not strike it during sudden braking of
your vehicle. Try to pick a well ventilated location that is shielded from direct sunlight.
1) Install the mounting bracket in the vehicle using the supplied self- tapping screws (2pcs) and
flat washers (2pcs).
2) Position the transceiver, then insert and
tighten the supplied hexagon SEMS
screws.
Double check that all screws are tightened
non-slip mat
to prevent vehicle vibration from loosening
the bracket or transceiver.
2. Intall Microphone Hanger
1) Choose idea location and mark for screw point.
1) Fix the hanger by the srews in accessory list.
3. Power Connection
» Locate the power input connector as close to the transceiver as possible.
Mobile Operation
The vehicle battery must have a nominal rating of 12V. Never connect the transceiver to a 24V
battery. Be sure to use a 12V vehicle battery that has sufficient current capacity. If the current to
the transceiver is insufficient, the display may darken during transmission, or transmitting output
power may drop excessively.
1) Route the DC power cable supplied with the transceiver directly to the vehicle's battery termin-
als using the shortest path from the transceiver.
• We recommend you do not use the cigarette lighter socket as some cigarette lighter sockets
introduce an unacceptable voltage drop.
• The entire length of the cable must be dressed so it is isolated from heat, moisture, and the
