INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS
■ Power supply connections
Use the DC power supply with a 25 A capacity when
operating the transceiver with AC power. Refer to the
diagrams below.
CAUTION: Before connecting the DC power
cable, check the following important items. Make
sure:
•The [POWER] switch is OFF.
•Output voltage of the power source is 12–15 V.
•DC power cable polarity is correct.
Red : positive + terminal
Black : negative _ terminal
■ Battery connections
•RWARNING NEVER
connect to a battery
without supplying a DC fuse, otherwise a fire
hazard occurs.
•NEVER connect the transceiver directly to a 24V
battery.
The transceiver may not receive well on some
frequencies when installed in a hybrid vehicle, or
any type of electric vehicle (fuel cell vehicle). This
is because vehicle’s electric components such as
the inverter system generate a lot of electric noise.
•DO NOT use a cigarette lighter socket as a power
source when operating in a vehicle. The plug may
cause voltage drops and ignition noise may be su-
perimposed onto transmit or receive audio.
•Use a rubber grommet when passing the DC
power cable through a metal plate to prevent a
short circuit.
IMPORTANT!
Detailed installation notes for Icom mobile trans-
ceivers to be fitted into vehicles are available. Con-
tact your Icom dealer or distributor.
