n Fixed Station Operation
In order to use this transceiver for fixed station operation, you will need a
separate 13.8 V DC power supply that must be purchased separately. The
recommended current capacity of the power supply is 12 A.
Note: Do not plug the DC power supply into an AC outlet until you make all connections.
1 Ensure that the transceiver and DC power supply are both OFF.
2 Connect the DC power cable to the regulated DC power supply and ensure
that the polarities are correct (Red: positive, Black: negative).
Use the supplied DC power cable to connect the transceiver to a regulated
power supply. Do not directly connect the transceiver to an AC outlet.
Do not substitute the cable with smaller gauge wires.
