First connect the DC power cable to the regulated DC

 

power supply and check that polarities are correct

At the minimum, a good DC ground is required to

wire or a copper strap, cut as short as possible, for this

 

 

connection. Just as for antenna work, all connections

 

 

must be clean and tight.

LIGHTNING PROTECTION

 

 

Consider carefully how to protect your equipment and

5

 

your home from lightning. Even in areas where

 

 

 

 

lightning storms are less common, there are usually a

 

 

limited number of storms each year. Take the time to

6

 

study the best way to protect your installation from the

 

effects of lightning by consulting reference material on

 

the subject.

 

 

The installation of a lightning arrestor is a start, but there

 

 

 

7

 

is more that you can do. For example, terminate your

 

antenna system transmission lines at an entry panel

 

 

 

 

that you install outside your home. Ground this entry

 

 

panel to a good outside ground, and then connect

 

 

8

 

appropriate feed lines between the entry panel and your

 

transceiver. When a lightning storm occurs, you can

 

ensure added protection by disconnecting the feed lines

 

 

from your transceiver.

CAUTION: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE A GAS PIPE (WHICH IS

 

CLEARLY DANGEROUS), AN ELECTRICAL CONDUIT (WHICH

 

HAS THE WHOLE HOUSE WIRING ATTACHED AND MAY ACT

 

 

LIKE AN ANTENNA), OR A PLASTIC WATER PIPE FOR A

 

 

GROUND.

DC POWER SUPPLY CONNECTION

 

 

In order to use this transceiver, you will need a separate

11

 

 

13.8 V DC power supply that must be purchased

 

separately. DO NOT directly connect the transceiver to

 

 

an AC outlet! Use the supplied DC power cable to

 

 

connect the transceiver to a regulated power supply. Do

 

 

12

 

not substitute a cable with smaller gauge wires. The

 

current capacity of your power supply must be 20.5 A

 

 

peak or more.

 

 

CAUTION:

13

 

◆ BEFORE CONNECTING THE DC POWER SUPPLY TO THE

 

TRANSCEIVER, BE SURE TO SWITCH THE TRANSCEIVER

AND THE DC POWER SUPPLY OFF.

◆DO NOT PLUG THE DC POWER SUPPLY INTO AN AC OUTLET UNTIL YOU MAKE ALL CONNECTIONS.

REPLACING FUSES

If the fuse blows, determine the cause then correct the problem. After the problem is resolved, only then replace the fuse. If newly installed fuses continue to blow, disconnect the power plug and contact your dealer or nearest Service Center for assistance.
