CONNECTION AND INSTALLATION

2001 NEW

■

The transceiver and antenna tuner MUST have an 
adequate  RF  ground  connection.  Otherwise,  the 
overall  efficiency  of  the  transceiver  and  antenna 
tuner installation will be reduced. Electrolysis, electri-
cal shocks and interference from other equipment 
could also occur.

For best results, use a 50 or 75 mm (2 or 3 inches) 
wide copper strap and make the connection as short 
as possible. Ground the transceiver  and  antenna 
tuner to the same ground point, otherwise the volt-
age difference (at the RF level) between 2 ground 
points may cause electrolysis.

  Use Zinc anodes to protect the hull from electroly-

sis.

  Ask your dealer, technical installer or refer to a 

technical book, and so on, for RF grounding de-
tails.

• External ground plate
• Copper screen
• Copper foil

( These connections may cause an explosion or electrical 

shock)

• Gas or electrical pipe
• Fuel tank or oil-catch pan

The transceiver requires regulated DC power of 13.8 
V and at least 28 A. There are two ways to supply 
power:

•  Direct connection to a 12 V battery in your vehicle 

through the supplied DC power cable.

•  Use a DC power supply connected to an AC outlet.

 NOTE: Use terminals for the cable connection.
