2-1 UNPACKING
After unpacking, immediately describe any damage to the
delivering carrier or dealer. Keep the shipping cartons. For
a description and a diagram of accessory equipment in-
cluded with the 1C-725, see UNPACKING on the inside

INSTALLATION
9-2 MOUNTING THE TRANSCEIVER
Select а location for the transceiver that allows adequate air
circulation and access to the front and rear panels. Do not
place in areas subject to extreme heat, cold, or vibrations,
or near TV sets, radios and electro-magnetic sources.
For mobile installations, an optional 1C-MB5 MOBILE
MOUNTING BRACKET is available. Select a location
which can support the weight of the transceiver and does
not interfere with the operation of the vehicle.
e ADJUSTABLE ANGLES
The stand on the bottom of the IC-725 gives the
transceiver two selectable angles.
@PL-259 CONNECTOR INSTALLATION
1 inch = 25.4 mm
2-3 ANTENNA
Select an antenna, such as a well-matched 50 $2 antenna -
and feedline. The transmission line should be a coaxial
cable. VSWR should be less than 1.5:1.
CAUTION: Protect your transceiver from lightning by
using a lightning arrestor.
2-4 GROUNDING
To prevent electrical shocks, TVI, ВСІ and other problems,
ground the transceiver through the GROUND terminal on
the rear panel.
For best results, connect a heavy gauge wire or strap to a
long earth-sunk copper rod. Make the distance between the
GROUND terminal and ground as short as possible.
2-5 WIRING THE DC POWER CABLE
Insert a rubber grommet to the DC power cable to prevent
shorting.
1) Slide the coupling ring over the coaxial cable.
2) Strip the cable as shown in the diagram, and soft
solder the center conductor.
3) Slide the connector body onto the cable and solder.
4) Screw the coupling ring onto the connector body.
