installed. Then install the mounting bracket using the included self-tapping screws or other screws if desired.

2.Install the control unit in the bracket using the included knobs and vulcanized washers (the washers are installed between the bracket and control unit).

3.Install the included microphone hanger in a conve- nient location using the included sheet metal screws or other screws. For proper operation of functions such as the monitor mode and scan, the hanger must be connected to chassis ground. If required, ground the hanger using the included ground wire.

2.6 USING AN EXTERNAL SPEAKER

Power output with the internal 8-ohm speaker in the front panel or remote control unit is approximately 3 watts. For up to 5 watts of power, a 4.7-ohm external speaker can be used. This speaker is plugged into the external speaker jack on the back of the transceiver.

This is a standard 1/8”, two-conductor phone jack. The

internal speaker is automatically disabled when an external speaker is used.

The impedance of the external speaker must not be less than 4.0 ohms. Using a speaker with an impedance less than 4.0 ohms could result in audio amplifier U306 overheating and does not provide 5 watts of power. Therefore, to allow for tolerances, a speaker with a nominal impedance of 4.7 ohms is recom- mended. The E.F. Johnson remote speaker listed in Figure 2-1or Table 1-3meets this requirement. This speaker has a 6-ft cable, and in some applications (such as remote mounting) an extension cable may be required to connect it to the transceiver.

2.7 DATA CABLE INSTALLATIONCAUTION

DO NOT apply power a transceiver that has one of the data cables installed without first properly terminating the wires of that cable. These wires carry differing potentials and transceiver damage may result if they inadvertently contact each other.
