Operation panel
Note: If you use the transceiver for 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 transceiver under these conditions.
1 Route the DC power cable supplied with the transceiver directly to the
vehicle’s battery terminals using the shortest path from the transceiver.
• When using a noise filter, it should be installed with an insulator to prevent it from
touching metal on the vehicle.
• We do not recommend using a cigarette lighter socket as some cigarette lighter
sockets introduce an unacceptable voltage drop.
• If the power cable must be routed through a hole in the vehicle chassis or body,
for example in the fire wall at the front of the passenger compartment, use a
rubber grommet to protect the cable from abrasion. Dismantle the fuse holder to
pass the cable through the fire wall.
• The entire length of the cable must be dressed so it is isolated from heat,
moisture, and the engine secondary (high voltage) ignition system/ cables.
2 After the cable is in place, wind heat-resistant tape around the fuse holder
to protect it from moisture. Tie down the full run of cable.
3 To prevent the risk of short circuits, disconnect other wiring from the
negative (–) battery terminal before connecting the transceiver.
