2.1 Planning the Installation
The XTL 5000 radio operates only in negative ground electrical systems. Before starting the radio
installation, make sure that the ground polarity of the vehicle is correct. Accidentally reversing the
polarity will not damage the radio, but will cause the cable fuses to blow.
Planning is the key to fast, easy radio installation. Before starting the installation, inspect the vehicle
and determine how and where you intend to mount the antenna, radio, and accessories. Plan wire
and cable runs to provide maximum protection from inching, crushing, and overheating.
CAUTION Before installing any electrical equipment, check the vehicle manufacturer’s user manual.
The installation of this device should be completed by an authorized servicer or installer.
