INSTALLATION
MOBILE INSTALLATION
Plan the location of the transceiver and microphone bracket before
beginning installation.
1. Select a location that is convenient for operating the radio but
does not interfere with the driver or passenger.
2. Install bracket with self-tapping screws provided.
3. Connect the power cords (see below).
4. Attach the microphone bracket to side of the radio or car dash.
5. Attach radio to bracket.
Mobile Antenna
Because the maximum power output of the transmitter is limited by
the FCC, the quality of your antenna is very important. To achieve the
maximum transmission distance, Uniden strongly recommends that you
install only a high quality antenna. You have just purchased a superior
transceiver; don't diminish its performance by installing an inferior
antenna.
Only a properly matched antenna system will allow maximum power
transfer from the 50-ohm transmission line to the radiating element.
Your Uniden dealer is qualified to help you select the proper antenna for
your requirements. A whip style antenna may be used for automobile
installation.
A short “loaded” whip antenna is easier to install on an automobile, but
its efficiency is less than that of a full quarter-wave whip antenna.
Connecting the Power Cords
Uniden recommends connecting the power lead to the Ignition Switch
Accessory Terminal. This way, the transceiver is automatically turned off
when the ignition switch is turned off.
E-9
As an alternative, the power cord may be connected to an available
terminal on the fuse block or to a point in the wiring harness. However,
caution must be taken to prevent a short circuit. If in doubt, contact your
vehicle dealer for information.
Ground Information
This transceiver may be installed and used in any 12-volt DC negative
ground system vehicle.
Negative Ground System
With a negative ground system, the negative (-) battery terminal is
usually connected to the vehicle motor block.
Connect the red DC power cord from the
transceiver to the positive (+) battery terminal
or other convenient point. Then connect the
black power cord to the vehicle chassis or negative (-) battery terminal.
INSTALL 6PIN TO 4PIN ADAPTER
The Bearcat 980 SSB is pre-configured for Uniden’s new 6-pin wireless,
noise-cancelling technology, available in 2012. Your Bearcat 980 SSB
comes with an adapter to connect the radio’s 6-pin microphone jack to
an aftermarket 4-pin microphone.
1. Insert the 6-pin side of the adapter into the Bearcat 980 SSB 6-pin
microphone jack connection.
2. Plug a 4-pin microphone connector into the 4-pin side of the
adapter.
MARINE INSTALLATION
Consult your dealer for information regarding marine installation. It is
important to adequately ground the system and to prevent electrolysis
between the fittings in the hull and the water.
