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.

inSTAlling The TrAnSceiver

For passenger safety, install the transceiver securely using an optional mounting bracket and screw

set so the transceiver will not break loose in the event of a collision.

1 Mark the position of the holes in the dash by using the mounting bracket as a

template. Drill the holes, then attach the mounting bracket using self-tapping

screws.

• Be sure to mount the transceiver in a location where the controls are within easy

reach of the user and where there is sufficient space at the rear of the transceiver for

cable connections.

2 Connect the antenna and power cable to the transceiver.

3 Slide the transceiver into the mounting bracket and secure it using

hex-headed screws.

4 Mount a microphone hanger in a location where it will be within easy reach of

the user yet not interfere with the safe operation of the vehicle.

When replacing the fuse in the DC power cable, be sure to replace it with a fuse of the same value.

Never replace a fuse with a fuse that has a higher value.

if the signal tone matches the tone set up on your transceiver.

Note: Signaling allows your transceiver to code your calls. This will prevent you from listening

to unwanted calls. It does not make calls private, it only prevents them from being heard by

transceivers set with a different signaling code. Refer to “SIGNALING” on page 28 for details.

When you receive a group call on a Conventional channel and the received

group ID matches the ID set up on your transceiver, you can hear the caller’s
