FT-90R OPERATING MANUAL
Mobile Installation
The FT-90R must only be installed in vehicles having a negative ground electri-
cal system. Mount the transceiver where the display, controls, and microphone are
easily accessible, using the supplied MMB-68 mounting bracket. The transceiver
may be installed in any position, but should not be positioned near a heating vent
nor anywhere where it might interfere with driving (either visually or mechani-
cally). Make sure to provide plenty of space at the rear of the transceiver so that
air can flow freely through the heatsink. Refer to the diagrams showing proper
installation procedures.
Transceiver Installation
r Choose a mounting location with sufficient clearance for the transceiver, plus
space for ventilation around the heat sink.
Using the mounting bracket as a template for the mounting holes, use a 4.8 mm
(3/16”) bit to drill the mounting holes, and secure the mounting bracket with the
supplied screws,washers, and nuts (see diagram).
r Position the transceiver in the bracket so that the holes in the side are aligned
with those in the bracket, and bolt the transceiver into place using the supplied
short screws and flat washers.
