IMPORTANT: Use a 12 V car battery to operate the transceiver.
1.
Connect the supplied power cable directly to
the car battery.
NOTE: If threading the cable through wiring
holes, use grommets to prevent the
cable from coming in contact with the
car chassis.
IMPORTANT: • If using a 24 V car battery, be sure to convert the voltage to 12 V DC
with a DC/DC converter.
• Never connect the power cable to a cigarette lighter connector
because the available current is too low.
