• coaxial antenna cable and appropriate connectors
Your local RadioShack store carries a wide selection of all prod-
ucts needed to set up your transceiver as a base station.
Follow these steps to use the transceiver as a base station.
1. Mount the base station antenna as described in its owner's
manual.
Warning: Use extreme caution when you install or remove
a base station antenna. If the antenna starts to fall, let it go!
It could contact overhead power lines. If the antenna
touches a power line, contact with the antenna, mast, cable,
or guy wires can cause electrocution and death. Call the
power company to remove the antenna. Do not attempt to
do so yourself!
2. Connect the antenna to the PL259
back of the transceiver. If the antenna's plug does not match
the jack on the back of the transceiver, contact your
ANT
local RadioShack store for a suitable adapter.
3. Connect the supplied polarized 13.8V DC power connector
to the white power socket and cable on the back of the
transceiver. The plug and socket only fit one way. If you can
not easily insert the plug, turn it over and try again. Do not
force it. Then connect the red power wire with the in-line
fuse (+) and the black power wire (–) to the appropriate ter-
minals on your power supply.
4. Plug the power supply's AC power cord into a standard AC
outlet.
