3. INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
3-1. INSTALLATION
3-1-1. Precautions
1. Avoid direct sunlight, and select a dry, well ven-
tilated location.
2. Since the heat sink is on the rear panel, avoid
placing the equipment with the bottom and rear
sides close to a wall or desk.
3. When installing the equipment in an automobile,
ensure adequate ventilation. Install the equip-
ment in a location where the rear does not make
direct contact with the seat, and is not directly
exposed to vibration.
4. Avoid installing the equipment in front of the car
heater air outlet.
3-1-2. Power supply
The standard operating voltage of these transceivers
is 13.8 V. The current is 7.5 A with the TR-
851A/851E and 6 A with the TR-751A/751E. Do
not use a power supply (either fixed or mobile) that
provides over 16 V with the POWER switch of the
transceiver turned off.
Operation under such conditions will void the war-
ranty. Also, do not use a power supply that does not
supply at least 12 V in transmit or receive. Use of
such supply may cause the performance of the
transceiver to suffer.
3-1-3. Foot installation
Attach the feet (4 pcs.) using the following pro-
cedures,
1. Place the radio with the bottom up.
2. Place each foot on the bottom cover so that the
hole in the feet line up with the holes in the bot-
tom cover.
3. Insert a rivet with pin into the hole of each foot.
(Make sure the pin is not inserted too far or the
tivet will not go in.)
4. Push the pin down securely to complete the in-
stallation.
