To install the transceiver, select a safe, convenient location inside your
vehicle that minimizes danger to your passengers and yourself while the
vehicle is in motion. Consider installing the unit at an appropriate position
so that knees or legs will not strike it during sudden braking of your
vehicle. Try to pick a well ventilated location that is shielded from direct
sunlight.
Double check that all screws are tightened to prevent vehicle

vibration from loosening the bracket or transceiver.

2. Position the transceiver, then insert and tighten the supplied
hexagon SEMS screws.
DC Power Cable Connection
Mobile Operation
The vehicle battery must have a nominal rating of 12V. Never
connect the transceiver to a 24V battery. Be sure to use a 12V
vehicle battery that has sufficient current capacity. If the current
to the transceiver is insufficient, the display may darken during
transmission, or transmitting output power may drop excessively.
1. Route the DC power cable supplied with the transceiver directly
to the vehicle's battery terminals using the shortest path from the
transceiver.
We recommend you do not use the cigarette lighter socket as

some cigarette lighter sockets introduce an unacceptable voltage
drop.
The entire length of the cable must be dressed so it is isolated

from heat, moisture, and the engine secondary (high voltage)
ignition system/ cables.
2. After installing cable, in order to avoid the risk of damp, please
use heat-resistant tap to tie together with fuse box. Don't forget to
reinforce whole cable.
3. In order to avoid the risk of short circuit, please cut down
connection with negative (-) of battery, then connect with radio.
4. Confirm the correct polarity of the connections, then attach the
power cable to the battery terminals; red connects to the positive (+)
terminal and black connects to the negative (-) terminal.
Use the full length of the cable without cutting off excess even if

the cable is longer than required. In particular, never remove the
fuse holders from the cable.
1. Install the mounting bracket in the vehicle using the supplied self-
tapping screws (4pcs) and at washers (4pcs).
Locate the power input connector as close to the transceiver as
possible.
