TOOLS REQUIRED
Note: Before installing the transceiver, always check how far the mounting screws will extend below the mounting
Surface. When drilling mounting holes, be careful not to damage vehicle wiring or parts.
The following tools are required for installing the transceiver:
• 6mm(1/4 inch) or larger electriic drill
• 4.2mm(5/32 inch) drill bit for the self-tapping screws
• Circle cutters
POWER CABLE CONNECTION
CAUTION
The transceiver operates in 12V negative ground systems only! Check the battery polarity and voltage of the
vehicle
Before installing the transceiver.
1 Check for an existing hole, conveniently located in the firewall, where the power cable can be passed
through.
• If no hole exists, use a circle cutter to drill the firewall, then install a rubber grommet.
2 Run the two- power cable leads through the firewall and into the engine compartment, from the passenger
compartment.
3 Connect the red lead to the positive (+) battery terminal and the black lead to the negative (-) battery
terminal.
• Locate the fuse as close to the battery as possible.
4 Coil and secure the surplus cable with a retaining band.
• Be sure to leave enough slack in the cables so the transceiver can be removed for servicing while keeping the
power applied.
INSTALLING THE TRANSCEIVER
WARNING
For passenger safety,install the transceiver securely, using the supplied mounting bracket, so the transceiver will
not break loose in the event of a collision.
1 Mark the position of the holes in the dash by using the mounting bracket as a templete. Drill the holes, then
attach the mounting bracket using the supplied self-tapping screws.
• Be sure to mount the transceiver in a location where the controls are within easy reach of the user and where
there is sufficient space at the rear of the transceiver for cable connections.
2 Connect the antenna and the supplied power cable to the transceiver.
3 Slide the transceiver into the mounting bracket and secure it using the supplied hex-headed screws.
4 Mount the microphone hanger in a location where it will be within easy reach of the user.
• The microp hone and microphone cable should be mounted in a place where they will not interfere with the
safe operation of the vehicle.
CAUTION
When replacing the fuse in the DC power cable,be sure to replace it with a fuse of the same value.
Never replace a fuse with a fuse that has a higher value.

AUXILIARY FEATURES
•Time-out Timer (TOT)
The purpose of the Time-out Timer is to prevent any caller from using a channel for an extended period of time. If
you continuously transmit for a period of time that exceeds the programmed time, the transceiver will stop
transmitting and an alert tone will sound. To stop the tone, release the P
P
TT switch.
Your dealer can program a warning function to alert you before the TOT expires. Continuously transmitting for
the specified by your dealer will cause the warning tone to sound.
MANDATORY SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS TO INSTALLERS AND USERS
• Use only manufacturer or dealer supplied antenna.
• Antenna Minimum Safe Distance: 120 cm (4 feet), 50% duty Cycle.
• Antenna Gain: 0dBd referenced to a dipole.
The Federal Communications Commission has adopted a safety standard for human
exposure to RF (Radio Frequency) energy which is below the OSHA (Occupational Safety
and Health Act) limits.
• Antenna Mounting: The antenna supplied by the manufacturer or radio dealer must not be
mounted at a location such that during radio transmission, any person or persons can
come closer than the above indicated minimum safe distance to the antenna, i.e. 120 cm
(4 feet) , 50% duty Cycle.
• To comply with current FCC RF Exposure limits, the antenna must be installed at or
exceeding the minimum safe distance shown above, and in accordance with the
requirements of the antenna manufacturer or supplier.
• Vehicle installation: The antenna can be mounted at the center of a vehicle metal roof or
trunk lid, if the minimum safe distance is observed.
• Base Station Installation: The antenna should be fixed-mounted on an outdoor permanent
structure. RF Exposure compliance must be addressed at the time of installation.
Antenna substitution: Do not substitute any antenna for the one supplied or recommended
by the manufacturer or radio dealer.
You may be exposing person or persons to excess radio frequency radiation. You may
contact your radio dealer or the manufacturer for further instructions.
Maintain a separation distance from the antenna to person(s) of at least
120 cm (4 feet) , 50% duty Cycle.
“This transmitter is authorized to operate with a maximum duty factor of 50%, in typical
push-to-talk mode, for satisfying FCC RF exposure compliance requirements.”
You, as the qualified end-user of this radio device must control the exposure conditions of
bystanders to ensure the minimum separation distance (above) is maintained between the
antenna and nearby persons for satisfying RF Exposure compliance. The operation of this
transmitter must satisfy the requirements of Occupational/Controlled Exposure
Environment, for work-related use, transmit only when person(s) are at least the minimum
distance from the properly installed, externally mounted antenna. Transmit only when
people outside the vehicle are at least the recommended minimum lateral distance away
from the antenna/vehicle
