2VARIOUS ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT IN YOUR VEHICLE MAY MALFUNCTION IF THEY ARENOT PROPERLY PROTECTED FROM THE RADIO FREQUENCY ENERGY WHICH IS PRESENTWHILE TRANSMITTING. ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTION, ANTI-SKID BRAKING, AND CRUISECONTROL SYSTEMS ARE TYPICAL EXAMPLES OF EQUIPMENT THAT MAY MALFUNCTION. IFYOUR VEHICLE CONTAINS SUCH EQUIPMENT, CONSULT THE DEALER FOR THE MAKE OFVEHICLE AND ENLIST HIS AID IN DETERMINING IF THEY WILL PERFORM NORMALLY WHILETRANSMITTING.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 below themounting surface. When drilling mounting holes, be careful not to damage vehicle wiring or parts.The following tools are required for installing the transceiver:• 6 mm (1/4 inch) or larger electric drill.• 4.2 mm (5/32 inch) drill bit for the 5 x 16 mm self-tapping screws, and 3.2 mm(1/8 inch) drill bit for the 4 x 16 mm self-tapping screws.• Circle cutters.Power Cable ConnectionTHE TRANSCEIVER OPERATES IN 12 V NEGATIVE GROUND SYSTEMS ONLY! CHECK THEBATTERY POLARITY AND VOLTAGE OF THE VEHICLE BEFORE INSTALLING THETRANSCEIVER.1Check 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 lead tothe 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 removed forservicing while keeping the power applied.PREPARATION
