PLANNING THE
INSTAllATION
4-1. General
Inspect the vehicle and determine
how
and where
the radio antenna and accessories will
be
mounted.
Plan
cable runs for protection against pinching or
crushing wiring, and radio installation to prevent over-
heating.
4-2. Antenna
The favored location for
an
antenna
is
in
the center
of alarge, flat conductive area, usually at the roof cen-
ter. The trunk lid
is
preferred, bond the trunk lid and
vehicle chassis using ground straps to ensure the lid
is
at chassis ground.
4-3. Radio
The universal mount bracket allows the radio to
be
mounted
in
avariety of ways.
8e
sure the mounting
surface
is
adequate to support the radio's weight. Al-
low
sufficient space around the radio for air cooling.
Position the radio close enough to the vehicle operator
to permit easy access to the controls when driving.
4-4. DC Power and wiring
1.
This radio may
be
installed
in
negative ground elec-
trical systems only. Reverse polarity will cause the
cable fuse to blow. Check the vehicle ground polar-
ity before installation to prevent wasted time
and
effort.
2.
Connect the positive power lead directly to the ve-
hicle battery positive terminal. Connecting the Posi-
tive lead to any other positive voltage source
in
the
vehicle
is
not recommended.
CAUTION
If
DC
power
is
to be controlled by the vehicle ignition
switch, aswitching relay should be used
to
switch the
positive
power
lead.
The
vehicle ignition switch then
controls DC to the relay coil.
3.
Connect the ground lead directly
to
the
battery
negative terminal.
4.
The cable provided
with
the radio
is
sufficient to
handle the maximum radio current demand. If the
cable must
be
extended, be sure the additional wire
is
sufficient for the current to
be
carried
and
length
of
the added lead.

INSTALLATION PLANNING -CONTROL STATIONS
5-1. Antenna system
Control station. The antenna system selection de-
pends
on
many factors
and
is
beyond the scope of this
manual. Your KENWOOD dealer
can
help you select
an
antenna system that will best serve your particular
needs.
5-2. Radio location
Select aconvenient location for your control station
radio which
is
as
close
as
practical to the antenna cable
entry point. Secondly, use your system's power supply
(which supplies the voltage and current required for
your system). Make sure sufficient air
can
flow
around
the radio and power supply to allow adequate cooling.
SERVICE
This radio
is
designed for easy servicing. Refer to
the schematic diagrams, printed circuit board views,
and
alignment procedures contained
in
this manual.
Note
When you modify your radio
as
described
in
system
set-up, take the following precaution.
The rating of pin 7(58) of the accessory connector
cable
(KCT-19)
on the rear of the radio
is
l3.6V
(lA).
Insert a 1A fuse if you use the
58
pin for external
equipment.
If you do not intend to use the 3.5-mm jack for the
external speaker,
fit
the
supplied speaker-jack cap
(809-0235-XX) to stop dust
and
sand getting
in.
