G. Maximum Transmitter Output

An external 12V DC source is required for 12-Watt Output (Max setting) using a 12-watt transmitter. Connecting the rechargeable battery (2200RB) to the External Jack [T-7] will provide this external source, or the cigarette lighter adapter cable (included with high-powered units) can be used to connect the DC power from a vehicle’s battery source to the transmitter’s External Jack [T-7].

Press Output [T-5] twice for maximum output power mode.

The indicator flag (in [T-4]) will flash when the transmitter is in maximum output mode.

Note: The external DC source does not charge the internal batteries.

!WARNING

To reduce the risk associated with hazardous voltage:

•Potential for electric shock exists when handling connection cables while the transmitter is ON. Make all connections prior to powering on the unit. Turn transmitter OFF before handling connection cables.

•Voltage greater than 240 volts will damage equipment and could cause personal injury or death. Make all connections before turning on the transmitter. Follow standard procedures for reducing the voltage.

•Do not change or modify this product in any way.
