2VARIOUS ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT IN YOUR VEHICLE MAY MALFUNCTION IF THEYARE NOT PROPERLY PROTECTED FROM THE RADIO FREQUENCY ENERGY WHICH ISPRESENT WHILE TRANSMITTING. ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTION, ANTI-SKID BRAKING,AND CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEMS ARE TYPICAL EXAMPLES OF EQUIPMENT THAT MAYMALFUNCTION. IF YOUR VEHICLE CONTAINS SUCH EQUIPMENT, CONSULT THEDEALER FOR THE MAKE OF VEHICLE AND ENLIST HIS AID IN DETERMINING IF THEYWILL PERFORM NORMALLY WHILE TRANSMITTING.Note: The following preparation instructions are for use by your KENWOOD dealer, an authorizedKENWOOD service facility, or the factory.TOOLS REQUIREDNote: Before installing the transceiver, always check how far the mounting screws will extend below themounting 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• Drill bits (sizes listed below) and circle cuttersPOWER CABLE CONNECTIONTHE TRANSCEIVER OPERATES IN 12 V NEGATIVE GROUND SYSTEMS ONLY! CHECKTHE BATTERY POLARITY AND VOLTAGE OF THE VEHICLE BEFORE INSTALLING THETRANSCEIVER.1 Check for an existing hole, conveniently located in the firewall, where thepower 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 enginecompartment, from the passenger compartment.3 Connect the red lead to the positive (+) battery terminal and the black lead tothe negative (–) battery terminal.• Locate the fuse as close to the battery as possible.4 Coil and secure the surplus cable.• Be sure to leave enough slack in the cables so the transceiver can be removed forservicing while keeping the power applied.PREPARATIONeziStiBllirD esopruP)hcni23/5(mm2.4 swercsgnippat-flesmm61x5)hcni8/1(mm2.3 swercsgnippat-flesmm61x4
