Warning
Before transmitting with your transceiver, you must obtain a Department of Com­
munications (D.O.C.) Citizens Radio Licence. Obtain an application form, from
the D.O.C. Before completing the form you should read the conditions governing
the licensing and operation of the C.R.S. (D.O.C. brochure RB 14). This brochure
also can be obtained from the D.O.C. After completing the application form, mail
it with the appropriate fee to the Superintendant Regulatory of Licensing in the
State or territory in which the station will be operated.
Connecting the Power Cords
With regard to the connection of the power cords, it may be possible or desirable
to connect the red lead (for negative ground systems) or the black lead (for positive
ground systems) to the ignition switch accessory terminal so that the radio is auto­
matically turned off when the ignition switch (key) is turned off.
Aiternately, the power lead may be connected to an available terminal on the fuse
block or even to a point in the wiring harness. Care must be taken, however, to
guard against a short circuit condition. When in doubt, please contact your vehi­
cle dealer for specific information about your vehicle.
