TOOLS REQUIRED

Note: Before installing the transceiver, always check how far the mounting screws will extend below the mounting
Surface. When drilling mounting holes, be careful not to damage vehicle wiring or parts.
The following tools are required for installing the transceiver:
• 1/4inch (6 mm) or larger electriic drill
• 5/32 inch (4.2 mm) drill bit for the 5 x 16 mm self-tapping screws
• 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) drill bit for the 4 x 16 mm self-tapping screws
• Circle cutters

POWER CABLE CONNECTION

CAUTION
•The transceiver operates in 12V negative ground systems only! Check the battery polarity and voltage of the vehicle
before installing the transceiver.
•Do not cut and/or remove the fuse holder from the DC power cable.
1 Check for an existing hole, conveniently located in the firewall, where the power cable can be passed through.
If no hole exists, use a circle cutter to drill the firewall, then install a rubber grommet.
2 Run the two- power cable leads through the firewall and into the engine compartment, from the passenger
compartment.
3 Connect the red lead to the positive (+) battery terminal and the black lead to the negative (-) battery terminal.
Locate the fuse as close to the battery as possible.
4 Coil and secure the surplus cable with a retaining band.
Be sure to leave enough slack in the cables so the transceiver can be removed for servicing while keeping the
power applied.
INSTALLING THE TRANSCEIVER
WARNING
For passenger safety,install the transceiver securely, using the supplied mounting bracket, so the transceiver will
not break loose in the event of a collision.
1 Mark the position of the holes in the dash by using the mounting bracket as a templete. Drill the holes, then
attach the mounting bracket using the supplied self-tapping screws.
Be sure to mount the transceiver in a location where the controls are within easy reach of the user and where
there is sufficient space at the rear of the transceiver for cable connections.
2 Connect the antenna and the supplied power cable to the transceiver.
3 Slide the transceiver into the mounting bracket and secure it using the supplied hex-headed screws.
