CONNECTING TO YOUR VEHICLE’S POWER
Follow these steps to power the HTX-212 in your vehicle.
1. Connect the black wire to your vehicle battery’s negative (–) termi-
nal or to a metal part of the vehicle’s frame. Be sure the metal part
is not insulated from the vehicle’s frame by a plastic part.
2. Connect the red wire to a source of voltage that turns on and off
with the ignition and that can handle the transceiver’s 10-amp max-
imum power draw.
Or, if you do not want the HTX-212 to turn on and off with your vehi-
cle’s ignition, connect the red wire directly to the battery’s positive
(+) terminal.
Note: You might need to connect the red wire directly to the battery
if you experience ignition noise.
