EUROPEAN UNION DIRECTIVE OF CONFORMANCE
STATEMENT
This product is in conformance with the requirements of the applicable
Council Directive 95/54/EC.
BATTERY VOLTAGE
The product is suitable for motor vehicles with a 12 volts electrical
system having negative earth only. For use in a 24 volts system an
approved separate 24V/12V DC/DC converter must be connected
between the vehicle battery and the digital car kit. For installation refer
to the separate installation instructions of the DC/DC converter. The
equipment must be installed according to the recommendations of the
Installation Manual and the vehicle manufacturer.
PREPARING THE PORTABLE RADIO FOR USING IN
THE VEHICLE ADAPTER
Before the radio can be used in the Vehicle Adapter it must be fitted with
an RF Switch adapter to allow for the automatic switching from integral
to external antenna. The RF Switch adapter fits between the portable
radio antenna socket and the portable radio antenna.
When the radio with the RF Switch adapter fitted is placed into the
Vehicle Adapter, the resulting combination operates as a mobile radio.
The following functions occur automatically:
• The radio antenna is electrically disconnected and the vehicle
antenna is connected for use.
• The radio internal microphone is electrically disconnected and the
Vehicle Adapter mobile microphone is connected for use.
• The Vehicle Adapter charger is connected to the radio battery.
• The Vehicle Adapter will automatically mute the radio internal
speaker and route received audio to the external speaker. The audio
level of the speaker is set by the radio volume control setting.
When using an external speaker, turn the volume
control up slowly to the desired audio level to avoid
damage from high audio pressures.

FITTING THE RF SWITCH ADAPTER
1. Unscrew the radio antenna from the radio.
2. Screw the antenna to the RF Switch Adapter. Hold the black upper
plastic part of the adapter with your fingers and rotate the antenna
until it sits fixed on the adapter.
3. Position the nose on the downside of the adapter so that it fits into
the slot of the radio's antenna socket (see figure 1).
4. Hold the antenna or the black upper part of the adapter with your
fingers and turn the serrated metal wheel to screw the adapter into
the antenna socket. To fasten the adapter with the delivered
mounting tool, hold the radio with one hand, position the nose of
the mounting tool into one of the holes on the serrated metal wheel
and rotate the serrated metal wheel until it sits firmly on the radio's
antenna socket.
Note: With the RF Switch fitted there may be some degradation in radio
performance (up to 1.5dB). When the portable radio is operated in the
Vehicle Adapter, the vehicle antenna compensates for this degradation
and improves the overall radio performance.
Figure 1. Fitting the RF Switch Adapter
Never rotate the antenna or the black upper plastic
part of the adapter to fasten or unfasten the adapter
while in the radio's antenna socket. Doing so will
damage the adapter or the radio's antenna socket.
Always use the mounting tool supplied to rotate the
serrated metal wheel while holding the radio with
the other hand.

Figure 1. Fitting the RF Switch Adapter
CHANGING THE RADIO'S ACCESSORY CONNECTOR COVER
1. If the radio is fitted with a cover on the accessory connector,
remove this cover (refer to the User Guide for your radio). Failure
to remove the accessory connector cover may result in permanent
damage to the Digital Car Kit.
2. Fit the accessory connector cover, delivered with the Digital Car
Kit, on the radio's accessory connector.
ADJUST THE BATTERY CONTACT BLOCK
The cradle can hold radios with different battery sizes. To adapt the
cradle for the battery size of your radio you may need to adjust the
battery contact block inside the cradle.
1. Remove the crosshead screw located at the bottom of the cradle
(see figure 2).
2. Lift up the battery contact block and remove it from the cradle.
3. Insert the battery contact block in the appropriate alignment guides
(left and right) at the back of the cradle.
Use the front position for battery: PMNN4047
Use the rear position for batteries: PMNN4048, PMNN4049
Placing a radio in the cradle when the battery
contact block is not at the appropriate position for
the battery size being used may damage the cradle.

4. Fasten the battery contact block with the crosshead screw.

REMOVING THE RF SWITCH ADAPTER OR THE ANTENNA
1. Hold the radio with one hand, position the nose of the mounting
tool in one of the holes on the serrated metal wheel and rotate the
serrated metal wheel to loosen it from the radio's antenna socket.
2. Hold the antenna or the black upper part of the adapter with your
fingers and turn the serrated metal wheel to unscrew the adapter
completely.
3. To unscrew the antenna from the RF Switch Adapter, hold the black
upper plastic part of the adapter with your fingers and rotate the
antenna to remove it from the adapter.
Crosshead Screw
Never rotate the antenna or the black upper plastic
part of the adapter to fasten or unfasten the adapter
while in the radio's antenna socket. Doing so will
damage the adapter or the radio's antenna socket.
Always use the mounting tool to rotate the serrated
metal wheel while holding the radio with the other
hand.

PLACING AND REMOVING THE RADIO TO AND FROM
THE CRADLE
Figure 3. Digital Car Kit Cradle
PLACING THE RADIO IN THE CRADLE
Note: For optimal operation, always turn the radio OFF before
inserting it into the cradle.
DO NOT fit the battery alone into the cradle as it
will not be locked in place and may injure any
vehicle occupants in the event of a collision.
Remove locking key on the right side of the
VA cradle before driving, to avoid injury in case
of an accident.
To ensure correct fit of the radio into the cradle,
remove non-standard labels from the radio and
battery that are not shipped with the standard
product. Non-standard labels may be peeled off by
the action of installing the radio in the Cradle and
may also interfere with proper Digital Car Kit
operation or may damage the Digital Car Kit.

1. Slide the radio with the battery attached into the cradle so that the
speaker grille faces outward and the controls are accessible.
2. Push the radio backwards until it locks into place.
The LED indicator at the front side of the cradle indicates the battery
charge status.
Figure 4. Fitting the Radio
Make sure that the lock of the Vehicle Adapter is in
the open position before inserting or removing the
radio, otherwise the radio cannot be pushed back to
the correct position. The key should not be in the
lock while inserting or removing the radio to
prevent permanent damage to the cradle.

indicator
When using an external speaker, turn the volume
control fully counter clockwise to turn the radio
OFF, to avoid damage from high audio pressures.
