Replacing fuses

If the fuse blows, try to find a cause before replacing it. If necessary, contact a
service center for assistance.
The fuse on the rear of the radio has a current rating of 5A

Connecting the microphone

Plug-in the supplied microphone to the proper 6 pin connector on the front panel
of the radio. For a better use of the microphone, you can also fix on the vehicle the
supplied mike holder.

Installing an antenna

• Place the antenna as high as possible.
• The longer is the antenna, the better will be the performance.
• If possible, mount the antenna in the centre of the surface.
• Keep the antenna cable away from noise sources, such as the ignition switch,
gauges, etc.
• Make sure you have a solid metal-to-metal ground connection.
• Prevent cable damage during antenna installation.
Attention: To prevent damage, never operate your radio without connecting a proper
antenna. A periodical control of the cable and of the S.W.R. is recommended.

External speakers

If you use external speakers, the impedance must be 8 Ω. The external speaker jack
accepts a 3.5mm mono plug and must be connected to the 'EXP SP' plug on the
rear side of the radio. The same plug will be used when the PA function is activated.
