Ignition noise interference
Use of the mobile transceiver at low level signal
conditions is normally limited by the presence of
electrical noises. The primary source of noise in
an automobile installation is from the generator
(or alternator) and the ignition system in the
vehicle. Under most operating conditions, when
signal level is adequate, the background noise
does not present a serious problem. Also, when
extremely low level signals are being received,
the transceiver may be operated with the vehicle
engine off.
If you are receiving excessive interference from
the electrical system on your vehicle contact your
dealer or an auto electrician for advice.
WARNING: Accidental reversal of the
positive and negative connections may
cause serieus damage to the transceiver
which would void the warranty. If the
fuse blows replace it with a 3Amp 3AG
type.
