INSTALLATION

INSTRUCTIONS

4-1

INSTALLATION

Mounting

Bracket

When

of

operation

and

safety

when

selecting

the

location

the

transceiver

loosely

using

the

4

SEMS

screws.

3.

Align

the

grooves

in

the

screws

(

Fig.

A)

and

slide

the

transceiver

to

the

rear.

4.

Adjust

the

viewing

angle

in

the

bracket

to

the

desired

position

(

Fig.

Cautions

:

1.

Before

safety.

2.

After

If

the

opens,

be

sure

to

check

that

circuiting,

etc.

Then

replace

with

a

new

fuse

of

|

the

same

rating.

4.

After

completing

the

wiring,

wrap

the

fuse

holder

with

heat

resistant

tape

to

protect

against

heat

and

moisture.

5.

Do

not

remove

the

fuse

even

if

is

too

long.

Battery

Connections

Connect

the

directly

to

battery

terminals.

Using

of

the

will

lead

to

a

connection,

and

will

result

in

performance.

Pay

close

attention

to

the

of

the

4-2-3

Antenna

The

type

of

antenna

that

is

used

will

greatly

affect

the

performance

of

the

transceiver.

Use

a

properly adjusted

antenna,

of

good

quality,

to

enable

your

transceiver

to

perform

at

its

best.

The

antenna

input

impedance

is

50

ohms.

Use

50-ohm

coaxial

cable

such

as

RG-8U

or

8D-2V

for

this

connection.

If

the

antenna

is

far

from

the

transceiver

the

use

of

low

loss

coaxial

cable,

such

as

RG-

8U

is

recommended.

Match

the

impedance

of

the

coaxial

cable

and

that

of

the

antenna

so

that

the

SWR

is

less

than

1.5

to

1.

The

protection

circuit

in

the

transceiver

will

activate

if

the

SWR

is

particularly

poor

(greater

than

3

to

1).

High

SWR

values

will

cause

the

transmitter

output

to

drop,

and

may

lead

to

TVI

or

BCI

reports.

|

Caution

:

|

|

We

recommend

that

you

install

a

high

quality

lightening

arrestor

in

your

antenna

lines

for

protection

against

fire,electric

_

shock,personal

injury,or

damage

to

the
