2PREPARATION◆VARIOUS ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT IN YOUR VEHICLE MAY MALFUNCTION IF THEY ARENOT PROPERLY PROTECTED FROM THE RADIO FREQUENCY ENERGY WHICH ISPRESENT WHILE TRANSMITTING. ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTION, ANTI-SKID BRAKING,AND CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEMS ARE TYPICAL EXAMPLES OF EQUIPMENT THAT MAYMALFUNCTION. IF YOUR VEHICLE CONTAINS SUCH EQUIPMENT, CONSULT THEDEALER FOR THE MAKE OF VEHICLE AND ENLIST HIS AID IN DETERMINING IF THEYWILL PERFORM NORMALLY WHILE TRANSMITTING.◆ALTHOUGH THE REMOTE PANELS ARE WATER RESISTANT, THE MAIN TRANSCEIVERBODY IS NOT. MOUNT IT IN A PLACE WHERE IT WILL NOT GET WET.Note: The following preparation instructions are for use by your KENWOOD dealer, an authorizedKENWOOD service facility, or the factory.■Tools RequiredNote: Before installing the transceiver, always check how far the mounting screws will extend belowthe mounting surface. When drilling mounting holes, be careful not to damage vehicle wiring orparts.The following tools are required for installing the transceiver:• A 6 mm (1/4 inch) or larger electric drill.• A 4.2 mm (5/32 inch) drill bit for the 5 x 16 mm self-tapping screws, and a 3.2 mm(1/8 inch) drill bit for the 4 x 16 mm self-tapping screws.• Circle cutters.■Power Cable Connection1Check for an existing hole, conveniently located in the firewall, where thepower cable can be passed through.• If no hole exists, use a circle cutter to drill the firewall, then install a rubbergrommet.2Run the two power cable leads through the firewall and into the enginecompartment, from the passenger compartment.3Connect the red lead to the positive (+) battery terminal and the black leadto the negative (–) battery terminal.• Locate the fuse as close to the battery as possible.4Coil and secure the surplus cable with a retaining band.• Be sure to leave enough slack in the cables so the transceiver can be removedfor servicing while keeping the power applied.THE TRANSCEIVER OPERATES IN 12 V NEGATIVE GROUND SYSTEMS ONLY! CHECKTHE BATTERY POLARITY AND VOLTAGE OF THE VEHICLE BEFORE INSTALLING THETRANSCEIVER.
