2.3.2 Power Connector
The power connector is the interface for the primary 13.8V power source
and the external speaker. The primary power source can be the vehicle
battery or a mains-fed DC power supply. There are different power
connectors for the 50W/40W and 25W radios.
Important The speaker load configuration is balanced; the speaker
output lines must not be connected to ground. Connecting
a speaker output line to ground will cause audio power
amplifier shutdown
