Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires a standard antenna mount and a secure connection to your vehicle's power system. Since the radio handles both 12V and 24V, verify your vehicle's voltage before completing the final wiring. Always ensure the antenna is properly tuned (SWR check) before transmitting to avoid potential damage to the final output stage. To care for your unit, keep the housing free of dust using a dry cloth and avoid exposing the microphone port to moisture. If the radio is unused for extended periods, check the power cabling for oxidation to ensure clean electrical contact.
