INSTALLATION

MOBILE INSTALLATION

The FTM-10Rmust only be installed in vehicles having a 13.8 Volt negative ground elec- trical system. Mount the transceiver where the display, controls, and microphone are easily accessible, using the supplied Mobile Mounting Bracket.

The transceiver may be installed in almost any location, but should not be positioned near a heating vent or anywhere where it might interfere with driving (either visually or me- chanically). Make sure to provide plenty of space on all sides of the transceiver so that air can flow freely around the radio’s case.

An antenna and an antenna cable are not included in the box. Purchase them separately to accommodate your transceiver installation.

The DC power cable draws a large current when transmitting. The power cable should be wired as short as possible, and connected directly to the battery. (Do not use the cigarette lighter socket for power connections).

Never remove the fuse holders from the DC cables Never connect the transceiver directly to a 24 V battery.

Select a low-loss coaxial cable to connect the transceiver with the antenna. Use the shortest length possible.

Select a quality, high efficiency VHF/UHF antenna, and mount it in a good location on the car to obtain the maximum performance from the transceiver. (NOTE: An antenna designed with a matching device that forms a low DC resistance to ground may have poor reception on the AM broadcast band.)

The antenna depends on good grounding to realize maximum performance. Contact your dealer for information on transceiver and antenna installation.

If alternator noise exists, use a line filter in the DC power cable connection.

IMPORTANT: Select a location which can support the weight of the FTM-10Rtrans- ceiver and does not interfere with your driving.
