Route the red radio power cable from the radio to the vehicle’s battery compartment, using accepted
industry methods and standards. Be sure to grommet the firewall hole to protect the cable. Remove

fuse from the fuseholder and connect the red lead of the radio power cable to the positive battery
terminal using the hardware provided as shown in Figure 2-9. Connect the black lead to a
convenient solid chassis ground point. DO NOT connect the black lead directly to the battery’s
negative terminal.
