2.1 GENERAL
2.1.1 SCOPE OF INSTRUCTIONS
Since each installation is somewhat unique, the
following installation instructions are intended only as
a general guide to installing this transceiver. Described
are the intended use of the mounting hardware and the
electrical connections that should be made.
2.1.2 PERFORMANCE TESTS
Although each transceiver is carefully aligned
and tested at the factory, shipment can alter these
settings or damage the transceiver. Therefore, it is
good practice to check transceiver performance before
it is placed in service.
SECTION 2 INSTALLATION INSTALLATION

Revised 3-02
2.1.3 TRANSCEIVER PROGRAMMING
The transceiver needs to be programmed before it
is placed in service unless it was ordered as factory
programmed. Programming instructions are located in
Section 4. Transceivers not factory programmed are
shipped programmed with test channels and other
factory test parameters.
2.1.4 POWER SOURCE
NOTE: The ignition sense line must be connected as
described in Section 2.4.3 for power up to occur.
This transceiver is designed for installation only
in vehicles which have a 12-volt, negative ground
electrical system. This type of electrical system has the
negative battery terminal connected directly to the
vehicle chassis. Other types of electrical systems
require a voltage converter.
2.2 TRANSCEIVER INSTALLATION (FRONT
AND REMOTE MOUNT)
2.2.1 MOUNTING CONFIGURATIONS
Models of this transceiver are available for the
following installation configurations:
Front Mount -
The control unit is part of the trans-
ceiver, so the transceiver must be installed within
reach of the operator.
Remote Mount -
The control unit is a separate
assembly which can be installed up to 17 feet from the
transceiver which has a blank front panel (see Figure
2-2).
Dual Control -
The remote control unit is connected to
a front-mount transceiver. This allows the transceiver to
be controlled from both the transceiver front panel and
the remote control unit. The displays on the transceiver
and control unit indicate identical information.
2.2.2 SELECTING A MOUNTING LOCATION
Front-mount transceivers are designed for
mounting in a location near the operator such as the
dash, console, or transmission hump. Remote-mount
transceivers are designed for mounting in an out-of-
the-way location such as the trunk.
WARNING
The mounting location of the transceiver or control
unit can affect safe operation of the vehicle. Follow
these precautions when installing this transceiver: Mount it where it does not interfere with operation
of the vehicle controls. Mount it where the operator can easily see the
display and reach the controls. Mount it where it is least likely to cause additional
injury in case of an accident. Air bags deploy with great force. Therefore, do not
mount a transceiver or control unit anywhere near
the deployment area or place any other objects in the
deployment area.
2.2.3 MOUNTING KITS
The following kits may be used to install this
transceiver. Components in these kits are shown in
Figures 2-1, 2-2, and 2-5.

2.2.4 MOUNTING STANDARD TRANSCEIVER
Proceed as follows to mount a standard power
front or remote mount transceiver:
1. Check the area underneath the selected mounting
area for wiring, brake and gas lines, or other compo-
nents that could be damaged when the mounting
bracket is installed. Then install the mounting
bracket using the included self-drilling screws or
other screws if desired.
2. Install the transceiver in the bracket using the
included knobs.
3. With front-mount transceivers, install the micro-
phone hanger in a convenient location using the
screws for sheet metal or plastic. The hanger must
be connected to chassis ground for proper operation
of functions such as monitoring and scan. If
required, ground the hanger using the included
ground wire.

2.2.5 MOUNTING 100W TRANSCEIVER
The 100-watt transceiver mounting bracket (Part
No. 017-9700-007) can be installed on the bottom side
of the transceiver only, because the mounting holes are
offset. Therefore, it is not intended for applications
where it must be above the transceiver such as such as
dash mounting. Refer to Figure 2-3 and proceed as
follows to mount a 100W front or remote mount
transceiver:
1. Check the area underneath the selected mounting
area for wiring, brake and gas lines, or other compo-
nents that could be damaged when the mounting
bracket is installed. Then install the mounting
bracket using the included self-drilling screws or
other screws if desired.
2. Mount the transceiver in the mounting bracket using
the screws shown in Figure 2-3.
3. If applicable, install the microphone hanger as
described in the preceding section.
2.3 POWER CABLE INSTALLATION
2.3.1 ALL EXCEPT 100W MODELS
NOTE: Both leads of the power cable should be
connected directly to the vehicle battery. Connection
to other points may result in increased interference
from the vehicles electrical system.
Refer to Figures 2-1 or 2-2 and proceed as
follows:
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery to
prevent damage from accidental short circuits.
2. Route the red and blue power cables to the battery.
If there is excess cable, cut it off at a convenient
location and then splice it using the included butt
splice connectors. You may also need to cut the
cable if it must be routed through the firewall and
there is no opening large enough to clear the fuse-
holder. If a hole is drilled in the firewall, be sure to
seal it when the installation is complete.
3. Connect the red power cable to the positive (+)
terminal of the battery. To minimize the chance of a
short circuit occurring in the unfused portion of the
cable, make sure that there is a minimum length of
cable between the fuseholder and positive terminal.
4. Connect the blue cable to the negative () battery
terminal.

5. Plug the power cable into the transceiver and recon-
nect the negative battery cable.
6. Install the antenna according to the manufacturers
instructions. The transceiver has an N connector.
Check VSWR. Reflected power should be less than
4% of forward power (VSWR less than 1.5 to 1).
2.3.2 100W MODELS
NOTE: The red power cable lead should be connected
directly to the vehicle battery. Connection to other
points may result in increased interference from the
vehicles
