■ Transceiver Mounting
◆Using the Supplied Mounting Bracket
The universal mounting bracket supplied with your transceiver allows overhead or dashboard mounting.
1. Fix the mounting bracket to overhead or dashboard with the supplied screws and mount the transceiver
to the mounting bracket with the knob bolts.
2. Adjust the transceiver so that the face of the transceiver is at 90°to your line of sight when operating
it and tighten the knob bolts so that the transceiver is securely mounted.
NOTE: You may use a spongy cushion between the transceiver and mounting bracket to reduce the
vibration.
■ Antenna Connection
Please connect an antenna before transmitting. Select the antenna with the corresponding frequency and
install on the ANT antenna base. Use the antenna and coaxial feeder with the same natural impedance
50Ω.
NOTE: Do not transmit before connecting the antenna, it will ruin the transceiver.
