 If problems persist, contact the Technical Assistance Center (see page 12).
14. Disconnect the coaxial cable jumper and wattmeter.
15. Permanently connect the cable from the vehicle-mounted antenna to the radio’s antenna cable by
mating the two TNC connectors together. Use two pairs of soft-jaw pliers to gently tighten this
connection. Do not over tighten and do not twist either cable.
16. Make several test calls on the radio system to verify operation of the mobile radio. Before making the
calls, select other talk groups or conventional channels, as required to verify operation.
To prevent RF leakage and ensure peak performance, make sure the RF connectors are
tight, but do not over-tighten so connector damage will not occur.
Improper installation of the RF cables may lead not only to poor radio
performance but also to harmful exposure to RF electromagnetic energy.
Testing is complete. The radio is now ready for normal communications.
