    INSTALLATION INSTALLING THE RADIO Choose a convenient location for operation that does not interfere with driver or passenger. This radio is supplied with a universal mounting bracket. When mounting the bracket and radio to your car, make sure it is mechanically strong. Also, provide a good electrical grounding connection to the chassis of vehicle.
  • Page 5: Ignition Noise Interference

    OPERATION IGNITION NOISE INTERFERENCE With weak signals, you may experience interference of the signal by background noise. This radio has NB and ANL circuits that will help reduce background noise from sources such as your ignition system. However, background electrical noise may come from several sources and all noise may not be eliminated.

  • Page 10: Alternate Microphone And Installation

    OPERATION ALTERNATE MICROPHONES AND INSTALLATION For best results, the user should select a low-impedance dynamic type microphone or a transistorized microphone. Transistorized type microphones have low output impedance characteristics. The microphones must be provided with a four-lead cable. The audio conductor and its shielded lead comprise two of the leads.
  • Page 11 Before beginning the actual wiring, read carefully the circuit and wiring information provided with the microphone you select. Use the minimum heat required in soldering the connections. Keep the exposed wire lengths to a minimum to avoid shorting when the microphone plug is reassembled. Fig.

Be sure that the housing and the knurled ring of Figure 2 are pushed back onto the microphone cable before starting to solder. If the washer is not captive to the pin receptacle body, make sure that it is placed on the threaded portion of the pin receptacle body before soldering.
