Power supply
Be sure the transceiver is off.
On the rear of the radio you will see a bi-color power supply cable with a fuse holder
on the red cable.
This cable is supplied with a connector suitable for the connection to the radio and
vehicle's battery.
It can also be connected to a cigarette lighter cord socket (optional).
In the direct-voltage power supply, it is very important to observe the polarity even if
the unit is protected against the accidental inversion.
Red = positive pole (+); Black = negative pole (-)
The same colors are present on the battery and in the fuse box of the car.
Correctly connect the cable terminal to the battery.
The battery of vehicle must have a nominal capacity of 12 or 24V.
Be sure the battery of the vehicle is able to supply enough power to the radio.
Connect the DC power cable to the regulated DC power supply and ensure that
the polarities are correct.
