JVC KENWOOD Corporation 378601 ユーザーズマニュアル

Various electronic equipment in your vehicle may malfunction if they are not properly protected 

from the radio frequency energy which is present while transmitting.  Electronic fuel injection, anti-

skid braking, and cruise control systems are typical examples of equipment that may malfunction.  

If your vehicle contains such equipment, consult the dealer for the make of vehicle and enlist 

his/her aid in determining if they will perform normally while transmitting.

Note:  The following preparation instructions are for use by your Kenwood dealer, an authorized 

Kenwood service facility, or the factory.

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:

•  /4 inch (6 mm) or larger electric drill
•  5/32 inch (4.2 mm) drill bit for the self-tapping screws used to mount the optional 

mounting bracket

•  Circle cutters

◆

  The transceiver operates in 

12 V negative ground systems only!  Check the battery polarity and 

voltage of the vehicle before installing the transceiver.

◆

  Use only a 

Kenwood optional DC power cable.

◆

  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 a 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.
