Operation of the Car Adaptor (CAR-520)
This handheld radio can be turned into a mobile transceiver by connecting the Car Adaptor CAR-520. The Car Adaptor
will supply a regulated DC power to the radio, directly from the car cigarette lighter plug as well as the connection for an
external antenna. Install the Car Adaptor as follows :
1. Remove the rubber antenna from the radio.
2. Open the battery door (24) and remove batteries (at least one cell). The DC power to the radio will be supplied by
the car electric circuit via the Car Adaptor.
3. Connect the Car Adaptor to the radio, as showed in the below picture.
4. Lock the Car Adaptor to the radio by turning the knob (26) in the LOCK direction as indicated by the arrow. Do not
overtighten this screw.
5. Connect the cigarette lighter adaptor into the cigarette lighter plug in the vehicle (12VDC).
6. Connect an external antenna to the SO-239 antenna connector of the Car Adaptor.
WARNING ! Batteries (at least one cell) must be removed while using the Car Adaptor, if this is connected to the
car electric system. Non observance of this precaution may cause damage to the radio and explosion of the
batteries and will void warranty.
