POWER CORD CONNECTION: POSITIVE GROUND SYSTEM

If you are operating on a positive ground system, connect the black DC power cord from the transceiver to the negative, or (-), battery terminal or other convenient point, and connect the red power lead to the chassis or vehicle frame, or (+) battery terminal.

NOTE: With regard to the connection of the power cords, it may be possible or desirable to connect the (red lead for negative ground system) or (black lead for positive ground system) to the ignition switch accessory terminal so that the transceiver is automatically turned off when the ignition switch (key) is turned off.

Alternately, the power lead may be connected to an available terminal on the fuse block or even to a point in the wiring harness. Care must be taken, however, to guard against a short circuit condition. When in doubt, please contact your vehicle dealer for specific information for your vehicle.

BASE STATION OPERATION

To operate the transceiver from your home or office, using- regular house current as the power source, you will require a separate power supply capable of supplying 3 amps at a 13.8V DC output with a nominal input voltage of 120 volts AC, 50/60Hz.

Simply connect the red (+) and black (-) leads of the transceiver to the correspond- ing DC terminals of the power supply.

NOTE: Do not attempt to operate this transceiver by connecting directly to 117V AC. When an AC power supply is used with the transceiver for base station operation any Citizens Band beam, dipole, ground plane or vertical antenna may be used. A ground plane vertical antenna will provide the most uniform horizontal coverage.
