◆ Government law prohibits the operation of unlicensed radio transmitters within the territories under government control. ◆ Illegal operation is punishable by fi ne and/or imprisonment. ◆ Refer service to qualifi ed technicians only. Safety: It is important that the operator is aware of, and understands, hazards common to the operation of any transceiver. WARNING ◆ EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES (GASES, DUST, FUMES, etc.) Turn OFF your transceiver while taking on fuel or while parked in gasoline service stations. Do not carry spare fuel containers in the trunk of your vehicle if your transceiver is mounted in the trunk area.

◆ INJURY FROM RADIO FREQUENCY TRANSMISSIONS

Do not operate your transceiver when somebody is either standing near to or touching the antenna, to avoid the possibility of radio frequency burns or related physical injury.

◆ DYNAMITE BLASTING CAPS

Operating the transceiver within 500 feet (150 m) of dynamite blasting caps may cause them to explode. Turn OFF your transceiver when in an area where blasting is in progress, or where “TURN OFF TWO-WAY RADIO” signs have been posted. If you are transporting blasting caps in your vehicle, make sure they are carried in a closed metal box with a padded interior. Do not transmit while the caps are being placed into or removed from the container. The AMBE+2

Typical examples include electronic fuel injection, anti-skid braking, and cruise control. 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. Connecting the power cable CAUTION 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 fi rewall, where the power cable can be passed through.

• If no hole exists, use a circle cutter to drill a hole, then install a rubber grommet. 2 Run the power cable through the fi rewall and into the engine compartment. 3 Connect the red lead to the positive (+) battery terminal and the black lead to the negative (–) battery terminal.

• Place the fuse as close to the battery as possible. 4 Coil the surplus cable and secure it 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. Installing the Transceiver WARNING For passenger safety, install the transceiver securely using the supplied mounting bracket and screw set so the transceiver will not break loose in the event of a collision. Note: ◆ Before installing the transceiver, check how far the mounting screws will extend below the surface. When drilling mounting holes, be careful not to damage vehicle wiring or parts. 1 Mark the position of the holes in the dash, using the mounting bracket as a template. Using a 4.2 mm (5/32 inch) drill bit, drill the holes, then attach the mounting bracket using the supplied screws.

• Mount the transceiver within easy reach of the user and where there is suffi cient space at the rear of the transceiver for cable connections. 2 Connect the antenna and the supplied power cable to the transceiver. 3 Slide the transceiver into the mounting bracket and secure it using the supplied hex-headed screws.7 4 Mount the microphone hanger in a location where it will be within easy reach of the user.

• The microphone and microphone cable should be mounted in a place where they will not interfere with the safe operation of the vehicle. CAUTION When replacing the fuse in the DC power cable, be sure to replace it with a fuse of the same value. Never replace a fuse with one that is rated with a higher value.
