Usea properlyadjusted50 Q antennaof goodqualityto let your radiotelephoneperformat its best. Usea good-quality50 Q coaxialcableand a first-quality connectorforthe connection. Matchthe impedanceof the coaxial cable and antennasothat the SWR is 1.5:1 or less.Allconnectionsmustbe clean andtight. Whilethe radiotelephonesprotectioncircuitwill activate ifthe SWR is greaterthan2.5:1,do notrelyon protectionto compensatefor a poorlyfunctioning antennasystem. HighSWR willcausethetransmit outputto drop, and may leadto radiofrequency interferenceto consumerproductssuchasstereo receiversand televisions. Youmayeven interferewith your own radiotelephone. Reportsthat yoursignalis garbledor distorted,especiallyat peak modttlation,may indicatethat your antennasystemis notefficiently radiatingthe radiotelephonespower. Ifyou feela tingle from the radiotelephonescabinetor the microphones metalfittingswhen you modulate,you can becertain that, at the least,your coax connectorislooseatthe rearof the radioand, atthe worst,your antennasystem is not efficientlyradiatingpower. CAUTION: .Transmittingwithout firstconnectinganantenna orother matched load may damage the radiotelephone. Always connectthe antenna to theradiotelephonebefore transmitting. .Use a lightningaestor toprevent fire, electricshock, or damage to theradiotelephone.

CAUTION: .Before connectingtheDCpower supply totheradiotelephone,be suretoswitchtheradiotelephone andtheDCpowersupplyOFF. .DonotplugtheDCpowersupplyintoanACoutletuntilyou makeallconnections. Firstconnect the DCpowercable tothe regulated DC powersupplyandcheckthat polaritiesare correct (Red: positive, Black: negative). Then connect the connectorized end of the DC power cable to the DC 13.6 Vpower connector on the radiotelephone Rear Panel. Press the DC power cable connector firmlyinto the connector on the radiotelephone untilthe locking tab clicks. .Replacing Fuses Ifthe fuse blows, determine the cause then correct the problem. Afterthe problem is resolved, only then replace the fuse. Ifnewly installed fuses continue to blow,disconnect the power plug and contact your Dealer for assistance. CAUTION: Replaceblownfuses only after investigatingand correctingthe cause of the failed fuse. Alwaysreplacea blown fuse by a new fuse with thespecifiedratings. Fuses Power Supply To AC outlet .FuseLocation FuseCurrentRating 4A TRC-BO (for KAT-1/ MAT-100 Antenna Tuner) Supplied 25A Accessory Cable MOBilEINSTAllATION Install the radiotelephone in a safe, convenient position inside your vehicle that minimizes danger to your passengersand yourself while the vehicle is in motion. For example, consider installing the radiotelephone under the dash infront ofthe passengerseat so that knees or legs willnot strike the radiotelephone during sudden braking of your vehicle. Tryto picka well- ventilated location that is shielded from direct sunlight. ANTENNA CONNECTION Before operating mobile, you must first install an efficient, well-tuned antenna.The success of your mobile installation willdepend largely on the type of antenna and its correct installation. The radiotelephone can give excellent results ifthe antenna system and its installation is given careful attention. Your choice of antenna should have a 50 Q impedance to match the radiotelephone input impedance.Use low- loss coaxial feed linethat also has a characteristic impedance of 50 Q. Coupling the antenna to the radiotelephone via feed lines having an impedance other than 50 Q reduces the efficiency ofthe antenna system, and can cause interference to nearby broadcast television receivers, radio receivers, and other electronic equipment. CAUTION:Transmittingwithout first connectingan antenna or other matchedload may damage the radiotelephone.Always connect the antennato the radiotelephonebefore transmitting. DCPOWER CABLE CONNECTION Route the DC power cable supplied withthe radiotelephone directly to the vehicles battery terminals using the shortest path from the radiotelephone.If using a noise filter,itshould be installed withan insulator to prevent itfrom touching metal on the vehicle. Itis not recommended to use the cigarette lighter socket since some cigarette lighter sockets introduce an unacceptable voltage drop. To prevent the risk of short circuits, disconnect other wiring from the negative H battery terminal before connecting the radiotelephone.Confirm the correct polarity of the connections before attaching the power cable; red connects to the positive (+)terminal, black connects to the negative (-) terminal. Use the full length of the cable without cutting offexcess even ifthe cable is longer than required. Inparticular, never To antenna removethefuse holdersfrom thecable.After completing radiotelephone connections to the battery, then reconnect any wiring removed from the negative terminal. Ifthe power cable must be routed through a hole inthe vehicle chassis or body, for example inthe firewall at the front ofthe passengercompartment, use a rubber grommet to protect the cable from abrasion.The entire length ofthe cable must be dressed so itis isolated from heat and moisture.Afterthe cable is in place, wind heat-resistant tape aroundthe fuse holder to protect it from moisture. Tie down the full run of cable. The vehicle battery must have a nominal rating of 12 V. Never connect the radiotelephone to a 24 V battery.Be sure to use a 12 V vehicle battery that has sufficient current capacity.Ifthe currentto the radiotelephone is insufficient, the Display may darken during transmission, or transmit output power may drop excessively. Only after completing the installation, connect the radiotelephonespower supply connector to the DC power cable. Press the connectors firmly together until the locking tab clicks. Note:If you use the radiotelephonefor a long period when the vehicle battery is not fully charged, or when the engine is OFF, the battery may become discharged,and will not have sufficient reserves to start the vehicle.Avoid using the radiotelephoneunder these conditions. .ReplacingFuses If the fuse blows, determine the cause then correct the problem.Refer to additional information including fuse ratings on page 2. CAUTION:Replace blown fuses only after investigatingand correctingthe cause of the failed fuse. Always replace a blown fuse by a new fuse with the specified ratings.
