MARINE INSTALLATION
Consult
your
dealer
for
information
regarding
marine
installation.
It
is
important
to
adequately
ground
the
system
and
to
prevent
electrolysis
between
the
fittings
in
the
hull
and
the
water.
CONNECTING THE POWER CORDS
We
recommend
connecting
the
power
lead
to
the
Ignition
Switch
Accessory Terminal. This way,
the
transceiver
is
automatically
turned
off
when
the
ignition
switch
is
turned
off.
Or,
the
power
cord
may
be
connected
to
an available
terminal
on
the
fuse
block,
or,
to
a
point
in
the
wiring
harness.
However,
caution
must
be
taken
to
prevent
a
short
circuit.
If
in
doubt,
contact
your
vehicle
dealer
for
information.
GROUND INFORMATION
-
This
transceiver may
be
installed
and
used
in
any 12-Volt DC
negative
ground
system vehicle.
Most
newer
U.S.
and
foreign
made
cars,
and
small trucks, use a
negative
ground
system.
Some
older
cars,
and
some
new
large
trucks, use a
positive
ground
system.
With
a
negative
ground
system,
the
negative
(-)
battery
terminal
is
usually
connected
to
the
vehicle
motor
block.
If
you
cannot
determine
the
polarity
system
of
your
vehicle,
contact
your
vehicle
dealer
for
information.
NEGATIVE GROUND SYSTEM
If
you
have a
negative
ground
system,
connect
the
red
DC
power
cord
from
the
transceiver
to
the
positive(+)
battery
terminal
or
other
convenient
point.
Then
connect
the
black
power
cord
to
the
vehicle
chassis
or
negative
(-)
battery
terminal.
