PREPARATION

1MOBILE INSTALLATION

This transceiver asks you to install the front panel and main unit at separate positions. Select safe, convenient locations inside your vehicle that minimize danger to your passengers and yourself while the vehicle is in motion. Consider installing the units at appropriate positions so that knees or legs will not strike them during sudden braking of your vehicle. Try to pick well- ventilated locations that are shielded from direct sunlight.

Note: Unlike the previous KENWOOD mobile transceivers, this transceiver does not allow the front panel and main unit to be joined.

■Main Unit Installation

1Install the mounting bracket in the vehicle using the supplied self-tapping screws and flat washers. There are 4 screws and 4 washers supplied.

•The bracket must be installed so that the 3 screw holes on the edge of each bracket side are facing backward.

Self-tapping screw (5 mm x 16 mm) Flat washer

2Position the transceiver, then insert and tighten the supplied hexagon SEMS screws and flat washers. There are 2 screws and 2 washers supplied for each side of the bracket.

•Double check that all hardware is tightened to prevent vehicle vibration from loosening the bracket or transceiver.

SEMS screw

•Determine the appropriate angle of the main unit, using the 3 screw holes on the rear edge of each bracket side.
