Radio Installation

Considerations

All Uniden radios and associated accessories are tested before shipment to
ensure operational status. However, since vehicle configuration in which
Uniden radios and accessories are installed are nonstandard, Uniden
recommends that an authorized Uniden dealer install your radio equipment.
Uniden recommends the following installation considerations.

Power Requirements

The SVS8025TSE requires a 13.6 VDC, 15 ampere power source with a
negative ground. Install a fuse in the power leads near the power source to
protect the power source compartment and passenger compartment from fire
and electrical hazards. (The AMX 120A Power Cable is equipped with an in-
line 15 ampere fuse.) If the radio is connected directly to the vehicle battery,
a fuse must be installed as close to the battery terminal as possible.
Route power leads to minimize proximity to other electrical systems such as
instruments, engine electrical components, braking systems, entertainment
systems, etc.
Secure power leads to supporting structures or components with insulated
clamps that completely isolate the power leads from the supporting
structures or components. When power leads are routed through a firewall,
bulkhead, or similar structure, use a rubber grommet to protect power leads
from chafing.

Antenna

Follow antenna manufacturer's mounting instructions. Mount antenna in a
location which gives the highest unrestricted radiation pattern. Use low loss,
95% shielded, Teflon coaxial cable between antenna and radio antenna jack.
Keep antenna cable length short to insure maximum power output.

Mounting

Mount the equipment with your safety and the safety of others in mind. Do
not obstruct the operator's physical or visual access to the controls. Ensure
easy access to the microphone and radio controls. Be sure the equipment
does not interfere with vehicle operation.

Operational Check

After installation, a complete operational check by your Uniden Dealer will
assure you of a quality installation.
