DC POWER CABLE CONNECTION
Locate the pow ut connector as class to the transceiver as
possible.
MOBILE OPERATION
The vehicle battery must have a nominal rating of 12 V.
Never connect the transceiverto a 24 V battery. Be sure
to use a 12 V vehicle battery that has sufficient current
capaCity. If the current to the transceiver is insufficient,
the display may darken during transmission, or transmit
output power may drop excessively.
1 Route the DC power cable supplied with the
transceiver directly to the vehicle’s battery terminals
using the shortest path from the transceiver.
It using a noise tilter, it should be installed With an
insulator to prevent it from touching metal on the vehicle.
We recommend you do not use the cigarette lighter
socket as some cigarette lighter sockets introduce an
unacceptable voltage drop.
~ The entire length of the cable must be dressed so it is
isolated from heat, moisture, and the engine secondary

2 After the cable is in place, wrap heat—resistant tape
around the fuse holder to protect it from moisture and
tie down the lull run of cable.
3 To prevent the risk of short circuits, disconnect other
wiring trom the negative (—) batteiy terminal before
connecting the transceiver.
Confirm the correct polarity of the connections, then
attach the power cable to the batten/terminals;
red connects to the positive (+) terminal and black
connects to the negative (—) terminal.
Use the full length of the cable without cutting off excess
even ifthe cable is longer than required. In particular,
never remove the fuse holders from the cable.

FIXED STATION OPERATION
In order to use this transceiver for fixed station operation,
0 you will need a separate 13.8 V DC power supply (not
included). The recommended current capacity of your
power supply is 14Aor more.
1 Connect the DC power cable to the regulated DC
power supply and ensure that the polarities are correct
(Red: positive, Black: negative).
- Do not directly connect the transceiver to an AC outlet.
- Use the supplied DC power cable to connect the
transceiver to a regulated power supply.
- Do not substitute a cable With smaller gauge Wires.

REPLACING Fusss
If the fuse blows, determine the cause, then correct the
problem. Atter the problem is resolved, replace the fuse.
If newly installed fuses continue to blow, disconnect
the power cable and contact yourauthorized Kerwvood
dealer or an authorized Kenwood serVice center for
assistance.
ANTENNA CONNECTION
Before operating, install an efficient, well-tuned antenna
The success of your installation Wili depend largely on
the type of antenna and its correct installation. The
transceiver can give excellent results if the antenna
system and its installation are given careful attention.
Use a 50 O impedance antenna and low-lose coaxial feed
line that has a characteristic impedance of 50 Q, to match
the transceiver input impedance. Coupling the antenna
to the transceiver Via feed lines having an impedance
other than 50 0 reduces the efficiency of the antenna
system and can cause interference to nearby broadcast
television receivers, radio receivers, and other electronic
equipment.

OPERATING THROUGH RE ATERS
Repeaters, which are often installed and maintained
by radio clubs, are usuaily located on mountain tops
or other elevated locations. They generally operate at
higher ERP (Ettective Hadiated Power) than a typical
station. This combination of elevation and high ERP
allows communications over much greater distances than
communicating Without using repeaters.
Most repeaters use a receive and transmit frequency pair
with a standard or non—standard offset (odd—split).
In addition, some repeaters must receive a tone from
the transceiver to be accessed. For details, consuit your
local repeater relerence.
