■Replacing Fuses

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

CAUTION: ONLY USE FUSES OF THE SPECIFIED TYPE AND RATING.

Note: If you use the transceiver for a long period when the vehicle battery is not fully charged, or when the engine is OFF, the battery may become discharged, and will not have sufficient reserves to start the vehicle. Avoid using the transceiver under these conditions.

ANTENNA CONNECTION

Before operating, you must first install an efficient,

1

 

well-tuned antenna. The success of your installation will

2

depend largely on the type of antenna and its correct

3

installation. The transceiver can give excellent results if the

 

antenna system and its installation is given careful

4

attention.

5

Your choice of antenna should have a 50 Ω impedance to

6

match the transceiver input impedance. Use low-loss

coaxial feed line that also has a characteristic impedance of

7

50 Ω. Coupling the antenna to the transceiver via feed

 

lines having an impedance other than 50 Ω reduces the

8

efficiency of the antenna system, and can cause

9

interference to nearby broadcast television receivers, radio

receivers, and other electronic equipment.

CAUTION:

11

◆ TRANSMITTING WITHOUT FIRST CONNECTING AN ANTENNA

 

OR OTHER MATCHED LOAD MAY DAMAGE THE TRANSCEIVER.

12

ALWAYS CONNECT THE ANTENNA TO THE TRANSCEIVER

 

BEFORE TRANSMITTING.

13

◆ ALL FIXED STATIONS SHOULD BE EQUIPPED WITH A

 

LIGHTNING ARRESTER TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE,

14

ELECTRIC SHOCK, AND TRANSCEIVER DAMAGE.
