The transceiver operates in 12 V 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 on 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.
