INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS
RWARNING!
•NEVER remove the fuses from the cable connecting the
transceiver to a power source, especially a car battery.
• NEVER connect the transceiver directly to a 24 V battery.
The transceiver may not receive well on some frequencies
when installed in a hybrid vehicle, or any type of electric
vehicle (fuel cell vehicle). This is because vehicle’s electric
components, such as the inverter system, generate a lot of
electrical noise.
• DO NOT use a cigarette lighter socket as a power source
when operating in a vehicle. The plug may cause voltage
drops and ignition noise may be superimposed onto transmit
or receive audio.
• Use a rubber grommet when passing the DC power cable
through a metal plate to prevent a short circuit.
