5.2 Installation of the vehicular antenna
Install the antenna on the exterior of the vehicle. Installation must be
in conformity with the regulations of the antenna manufacturer, and
according to the instructions included with the antenna. Installation
must also be in conformity with general security and local regulations,
as well as with those indicated in Chapt. 2.
Contact your vendor for advice on choosing the best antenna for your
needs. The antenna must be able to irradiate at least the nominal
power of the radio. Once installed and calibrated, the antenna must
have a SWR (Standing Wave Ratio) as low as possible and at below
1:1.5. SWR should be measured with a suitable instrument once the
antenna is completely installed in an open space.
When used in a vehicle, the radio offers optimal performance
when the antenna is installed at the centre of the roof, in a vertical
position that is free of obstacles.
5.3 Connections
A faulty connection (or connection with an unapproved devi-
ce) can seriously damage the transceiver, as well as people or
objects. For further details, refer to the service manual and/or
to the CTE International technical office.
5.3.a Antenna
After verifying the efciency of the external antenna, connect it to the
radio’s Antenna socket (refer to par. 5.2) using a suitable connector.
5.3.b Power supply
Connect the red/black cable to a 13.8 VDC (+/- 10%) power source.
The red terminal connects to the positive; the black is negative and
must be grounded. It is important to verify that the power supply line
used is able to support 10 A of continuous current.
5.3.c Connection/Disconnection of the microphone
As previously mentioned, two types of microphones are available for
purchase separately:
• Standard microphone MK06/35 – microphonefor general use,
with push to talk transmission button (PTT) (not supplied).
• Keypad microphone MK06/35-K–includesstandardmicropho-
ne functions, plus variable selective calling (if activated during pro-
gramming).
