Typical examples include electronic fuel injection, anti-skid braking, and cruise control. If your vehicle contains such equipment, consult the dealer for the make of vehicle and enlist his/her aid in determining if they will perform normally while transmitting. ■ Power Cable Connection The transceiver operates in 12 V negative ground systems only! Check the battery polarity and voltage of the vehicle before installing the transceiver. 1 Check for an existing hole, conveniently located in the firewall, where the power cable can be passed through. • If no hole exists, use a circle cutter to drill a hole, then install a rubber grommet. 2 Run the power cable through the firewall and into the engine compartment. 3 Connect the red lead to the positive (+) battery terminal and the black lead to the negative (-) battery terminal. • Place the fuse as close to the battery as possible. 4 Coil the surplus cable and secure it with a retaining band. • Be sure to leave enough slack in the cables so the transceiver can be removed for servicing while keeping the power applied. 1
