Various electronic equipment in your vehicle may malfunction if they are not properly protected from
the radio frequency energy which is present while transmitting. Electronic fuel injection, anti-skid
braking, and cruise control systems are typical examples of equipment that may malfunction. If your
vehicle contains such equipment, consult the dealer for the make of vehicle and enlist his/her aid in
determining if they will perform normally while transmitting.
Note: The following preparation instructions are for use by your KENWOOD dealer, an authorized
KENWOOD service facility, or the factory.
TOOLS REQUIRED
Note: Before installing the transceiver, always check how far the mounting screws will extend below
the mounting surface. When drilling mounting holes, be careful not to damage vehicle wiring or parts.
The following tools are required for installing the transceiver:
•6 mm (1/4 inch) or larger electric drill
4.2 mm (5/32 inch) drill bit for the self-tapping screws
Circle cutters
POWER CABLE CONNECTION
The transceiver operates in 12 V negative ground systems only! Check the battery polarity and
voltage of the vehicle before installing the transceiver.
1 Check for an existing hole, conveniently located in the firewall, where the
power cable can be passed through.
If no hole exists, use a circle cutter to drill the firewall, then install a rubber
grommet.
2 Run the two power cable leads through the firewall and into the engine
compartment, from the passenger compartment.
3 Connect the red lead to the positive (+) battery terminal and the black lead to
the negative (–) battery terminal.
Locate the fuse as close to the battery as possible.
4 Coil and secure the surplus cable with a retaining band.
Be sure to leave enough slack in the cables so the transceiver can be removed for
servicing while keeping the power applied.
