Plan the location of the transceiver and microphone brackets before starting the installation. Select a location that is convenient for operation and does not interfere with the driver or passengers in the vehicle. In automobiles, the transceiver is usually mounted below the dash panel, with the microphone bracket beside it.

Your mobile radio is supplied with a universal mounting bracket. When mounting the bracket and radio to your car, make sure it is mechanically strong. Also provide a good electrical connection to the chassis of the vehicle. Proceed as follows to mount the transceiver:

1. After you have determined the most convenient location in your vehicle, hold the mobile

radio with the mounting bracket in the exact location desired. If nothing will interfere

2.	Connect the antenna cable plug to the standard receptacle (ANT) on the rear panel.
	Most antennas are terminated with a type PL-259 plug and mate with the receptacle.
3.	Connect the red DC power input wire (with the fuse) to +13.8 V DC. This wire extends
	from the rear panel. Connect directly to positive terminal (red) of vehicle's battery.
4.	Connect the black lead to -13.8 V DC. This is usually the chassis of the car. Any
	convenient location with good electrical contact (remove paint) may be used.
5.	Mount the microphone bracket on either side of the transceiver, using the two screws
	supplied. When mounting in an automobile, place the bracket under the dash so the
	microphone is readily accessible.
6.	Attach the microphone cable to the connector on the face of the transceiver.

NOTE

If power cables need to be shorter, we recommend attaching a 10 amp fuse to positive cable (red) at least six inches from vehicle’s battery.
