INSTALLING THE TRANSCEIVER

For passenger safety, install the transceiver securely using an optional mounting bracket and screw set so the transceiver will not break loose in the event of a collision.

1Mark the position of the holes in the dash by using the mounting bracket as a template. Drill the holes, then attach the mounting bracket using self-tapping screws.

Be sure to mount the transceiver in a location where the controls are within easy reach of the user and where there is sufficient space at the rear of the transceiver for cable connections.

2Connect the antenna and power cable to the transceiver.

3Slide the transceiver into the mounting bracket and secure it using hex-headed screws.

4Mount a microphone hanger in a location where it will be within easy reach of the user yet not interfere with the safe operation of the vehicle.

When replacing the fuse in the DC power cable, be sure to replace it with a fuse of the same value. Never replace a fuse with a fuse that has a higher value.
