Fitting and removing the Antenna

To fit the antenna:

1)Locate the antenna terminal (thread MX type) on transceiver’s top.

2)Hold the transceiver with one hand and the base (the thicker part) of the antenna with the other.

3)Attach the included rubber duck antenna to the antenna terminal by turning it clockwise until it is firmly locked. Do not overtighten.

To remove the antenna do the same described procedure. At step 3 turn the antenna base counterclockwise.

,Always have the antenna attached to the radio. You can not communicate without it. Transmitting without the antenna will damage the TX output final stage. For the same reason use only the supplied antenna.
