POWER CORD CONNECTION: POSITIVE GROUND SYSTEM
If you are operating on a positive ground system, connect the black DC power cord
from the transceiver to the negative, or {-), battery terminal or other convenient
point, and connect the red power lead to the chassis or vehicle frame, or (+) battery
terminal.
MOTE: With regard to the connection of the power cords, it may be possible or
desirable to connect the (red lead for negative ground system) or (black lead for
positive ground system) to the ignition switch accessory terminal so that the
transceiver is automatically turned off when the ignition switch (key) is turned off.
Alternately, the power lead may be connected to an available terminal on the fuse
block or even to a point in the wiring harness. Care must be taken, however, to guard
against a short circuit condition. When in doubt, please contact your vehicle dealer
for specific information for your vehicle.
BASE STATION OPERATION
To operate the transceiver from your home or office, using regular house current as
the power source, you will require a separate power supply capable of supplying 3
amps at a 13,8V DC output with a nominal input voltage of 12D volts AC, 50/60Hz.
Simply connect the red (+) and black (-) leads of the transceiver to the correspond
ing DC terminals of the power supply.
NOTE; Do not attempt to operate this transceiver by connecting directly to 117V
AC, When an AC power supply is used with the transceiver for base station
operation any Citizens Band beam, dipole, ground plane or vertical antenna
may be used. A ground plane vertical antenna will provide the most uniform
horizontal coverage.
