■ Power source
The transceiver requires regulated DC power of
13.8 V and at least 28 A. There are two ways to sup-
ply power:
• Direct connection to a 12 V battery in your vehicle
through the supplied DC power cable.
• Use a DC power supply connected to an AC outlet.

■ Antenna
Many stations operate with a whip or long wire (insu-
lated back stay) antenna. However, these antennas
cannot be connected directly to the transceiver since
their impedance may not match with the transceiver
antenna connector.
RDANGER HIGH VOLTAGE!
NEVER touch the antenna element/wire while tun-
ing or transmitting.
q Attach the Cooling fan to the transceiver’s heat-
sink, and tighten the 4 supplied M3 × 8 mm screws.
w Secure the connector and cables using the sup-
plied cable tie.
