Chapter 3  Installation
 
 
 
The RCI-5054DX is easy to install. All necessary parts (less the 
antenna and coax cable) have been included to facilitate 
installation. 
 
Transceiver Mounting
 
Choose a suitable location for the transceiver that will allow easy 
access to the front panel as well as proper air circulation to the 
back of the unit.  If you are installing the unit in a vehicle, attach the 
mounting bracket first, then attach the transceiver to the mounting 
bracket using the hardware provided. Before making any electrical 
connection, ensure that the transceiver is turned off and the 
vehicle's battery is disconnected.   
 
Power Connection
 
The transceiver operates off of any 12 to 13.8 VDC source.  
Beware of voltage drops caused by operating from Cigarette Lighter 
Plugs or long DC wire runs.  Sometimes it is best to connect direct 
to the battery for best RF output and Tx audio quality  
 
 
 
 
If an AC power supply is used with your radio, it must be regulated 
and rated for at least 7 Amps continuous.  Low voltage while under 
load will cause reduced receiver gain and low transmitter output 
with possible distortion and splatter.   
 
 
NOTE 
The condition of a vehicle's electrical system can affect the operation  of 
your RCI-5054DX.. A low battery, worn generator/alternator, or poor 
voltage regulator will impair performance of the unit as well as the 
vehicle.

CAUTION 
Voltage above 15 VDC will damage the unit. Be sure to check the 
source voltage before connecting the power cord.
