14Before UsingInstalling the RadioPrecautions during installationNote the following when installing this radio. Do not install the radio in a place where there is extreme vibration, where there is a lot of dust, excessive humidity or high temperature, or where it is exposed to direct sunlight. Install the radio in a well ventilated position, so heat release is not obstructed because the heat sink gets hot when transmitting for a long periods of time. Do not place any objects on top of the main body. Do not lift up or hold the controller by holding the knob or control cable. A regulated, negative ground 13.8 V DC power supply is required for this radio. Check that the car battery is a negative ground 12 V system when using this radio in a mobile unit. Never connect this radio to the 24 V battery of a large vehicle. Never connect this radio to a 120 V AC power source. Note that there is a risk that hum and noise may be introduced, depending on the installation condition and the external power source used. Install the device as far away as possible from the TV and radio to avoid TV and radio interference (TVI, BCI). In particular, do not install this radio near indoor antenna elements.About the antennaA good antenna installation is extremely important for transmission and reception purposes. Note the following, as the type and characteristics of the antenna largely determines whether the performance of the radio can be fully realized.• Use an antenna that suits the installation conditions and application objective.• Use an antenna that suits the operating frequency band.• Use an antenna and a co-axial cable with a characteristic impedance of 50Ω.• Adjust the VSWR (standing wave ratio) until it is 1.5 or less for an antenna with an adjusted impedance of 50Ω.• Keep the co-axial cable routing length as short as possible.Install the antenna ●Antenna installation in a mobile unitMount the antenna base at the rear of the car (rear bumper, trunk, rear gate, etc.) and then attach the antenna to the base.Cautions zEnsure that the antenna base is securely grounded to the car body. zAvoid routing the co-axial cable enclosed with a commercial car antenna cable. zDo not allow rain water or moisture to penetrate the cable or connectors when laying the co-axial cable inside the car.Installation and ConnectionApplication for FCC / IC FCC ID: K6620485X40 IC: 511B-20485X40
15Before UsingInstalling the RadioBumper type Trunk type ●Antenna installation in a fixed stationThere are omni-directional, and directed array antennas for use in an outdoor setting.• Omni-directional antennas such as the GP (Ground Plane) antenna are suitable for communications between a local station and mobile stations in all direction.• Directional antennas such as the Yagi antenna are suitable for communications between a base station and a remote station in a specific direction.Cautions zCreate a loop (slack) in the co-axial cable directly underneath the antenna and fasten it so that the weight of the cable does not pull on the antenna or connector itself. zInstall the antenna taking into consideration the securing supports and how the guying wires are positioned, so that the antenna does not fall over or get blown away in strong winds.GP antenna<Veranda Mounted Example>Yagi antenna<Roof Mounted Example>Installation and ConnectionApplication for FCC / IC FCC ID: K6620485X40 IC: 511B-20485X40
