MosiLe Power CONNECTIONS
To minimize voltage drop and avoid blowing the vehicle's fuses, connect the supplied DC
power cable directly to the battery terminals. Do not attempt to defeat or bypass the DC
cable's fuse—it is there to protect you, your transceiver, and your vehicle 's electrical sys-
fem.
(J Before connecting the transceiver, check the voltage at the battery terminals while rev-
ving the engine. If the voltage exceeds 15 Volts, adjust the vehicle's voltage regulator
before proceeding with installation.
(J Connect the RED power cable lead to the POSITIVE (+) battery terminal, and the
BLACK power cable lead to the NEGATIVE (-) terminal. If you need to extend the
power cable, use #12 AWG or larger insulated, stranded copper wire.
Solder the splice connections carefully, and wrap the connections thoroughly with in-
sulating electrical tape.
(J Before connecting the cable to the transceiver, verify the voltage and polarity of the
voltage at the transceiver end of the DC cable using a DC voltmeter. Now connect the
transceiver to the DC cable.
