Page 13: Antenna
Antenna Do not transmit without an antenna attached to the mobile radio. This can cause stress and harm to the internal transmitter and damage the mobile radio. Choose an antenna suitable for transmitting on user frequencies with an impedance of 50 ohm. If an antenna is not properly tuned for the frequency you transmit on this could cause reflective damage to the radio. -
Page 14: Powering Thecom
Powering TheCOM It is preferred that TheCOM be connected (the positive lead RED wire) directly to the positive post of the vehicle’s battery. If this is not available a fuse block may be used. If external noises are heard through the radio such as “alternator wine” (could be from pumps, switches, lights, clutch fans, other accessories) it is recommended that the power be re-rout directly to the battery posts. -

Page 30: Installing Thecom
Installing TheCOM Depending on the model COM you purchased the installation will be unique to your model COM and the vehicle you are installing it in. For installation examples and ideas please see our website https://utvcom.com/installation-examples/ General Install Guidelines Connect the 12-volt power cord to a correct 12-volt power port. If you decide to hardwire the unit it is recommended that both the hot and ground wires be connected directly to the battery terminals to avoid interference and the cables should NOT be run together with other vehicle wiring. -
Page 31: Headsets
Headsets Stereo over-the-head headsets, helmet headsets and behind the head headsets are all available and connect directly to the back of the intercom via a TRRS 3.5 mm headset connection. Extension cords can be placed between the intercom and the headset to increase the separation distance between passenger and COM. - Page 32 examples/ Microphone (Practice headsets & boom mics) – Practice headset and boom mics should be adjusted so that the mic is in line with your lips and right against your lips for the greatest audio performance. Note the further the mic is from your lips the more distant your voice will be and the less amplified it will be to the co-drivers.
