Various electronic equipment in a vehicle may malfunction if they are not properly protected from the radio frequency energy which is present while transmitting.
  • Page 596 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.
  • Page 597 APPENDIX Installing the Transceiver in a Vehicle (Mobile Only) Installing the Transceiver For passenger safety, install the transceiver securely using the mounting bracket and screw set so the transceiver will not break loose in the event of a collision. Attach the mounting bracket in the dash. 1) Mark the position of the holes in the dash by using the mounting bracket as a template.
