2 INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS ■ Power supply connections Use a DC power supply with a 22 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 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 ■ Connecting the DC Power Supply AC outlet A DC power supply 13.8 V; at least 22 A Red Black +_ Transceiver CAUTION: The rear panel will become hot when operating the transceiver continuously for long periods. AC cable 30 A fuses Supplied DC power cable To DC power socket BE CAREFUL when disconnecting the DC power cable because the connector is tightly locked. Use a small tool, such as a flat-bladed screwdriver, to disengage the locking tab. ■ Battery connections • R WARNING NEVER connect to a battery without supplying a DC fuse, otherwise a fire hazard occurs. • NEVER connect the transceiver to a 24 V 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. CONNECTING A VEHICLE BATTERY Grommet • 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 superimposed onto transmit or receive audio. • Use a rubber grommet when passing the DC power cable through a metal plate to prevent a short circuit. The IC-7200 is not certified for vehicle installation in European countries. black Note: Use terminals for the cable connections. Crimp red Solder 12 V battery Supplied DC power cable 15
