Installation
CAUTION
§ Be careful when plugging in cables. Avoid
sideways pressure that might damage the jacks.
§ Avoid direct exposure to rain or snow (the KX2
is not waterproof).
§ Avoid operating at very high temperatures.
§ Prior to opening the enclosure, touch a grounded,
unpainted metal surface to avoid static discharge.
Operating Position
As shown below, the tilt leg on the back of the KX2 can
be used to optimize the viewing angle. Loosen the rear
thumbscrew to adjust the tilt leg. The KX2 can also be
operated hand-held, either vertically or horizontally.
Power Supply
For fixed-station use, a low-noise 12-14 VDC power
supply or battery is recommended. For lightweight
portable operation, an internal battery can be used.
See next page for internal battery installation.
Batteries or power supplies can be plugged in from
inside, outside, or both. The internal and external DC
jacks are identical, and are diode-isolated from each
other. The higher voltage will power the transceiver.
Power output varies with supply voltage.
An external power supply or battery can be connected
to the 9-15 V jack on the left side panel (see above).
The center pin is (+). The plug can be a Switchcraft
model S760 or similar (2.1 mm aperture, 5.5 mm dia.).
The white striped wire on the supplied cable is (+).
Trim the cable to the desired length.
