4. Release the transceiver fastener, and insert the transceiver until its rear engages the stop bar of
the tray. Make sure that the transceiver heatsink fins fit around the fastener sides. Check that
the transceiver sits well within the tray, and that its heatsink is horizontal and touches the tray
along its whole length.
5. Tighten the fastener with an Allen wrench, to secure the transceiver safely within the tray.
6. Connect the grounding strap to the vehicle body, as shown in Figure 3-9 or Figure 3-11.
7. Connect the 44-pin/25-pin adapter cable between the ACCESSORY connector of the
transceiver and the TO RADIO connector on the cooling tray.
3-6.1.3 Connecting to the Cooling Tray
At this stage, you may start connecting cables to the transceiver as explained in para. 3-4 or 3-5,
respectively. The only differences are as follows:
1. Connect the equipment to the ACCESSORY connector on the cooling tray, instead of the
connector located on the transceiver.
2. You can connect a headphone set and a telegraphy (Morse) key to the corresponding front jacks
of the cooling tray.
3-7. CHECKING INSTALLED EQUIPMENT
The purpose of the checks is to verify that the equipment has been properly installed and is ready for
communication.
If a problem is detected during the checks, use para. 3-7.2 to identify the source and return the
equipment as soon as possible to operational condition, by replacing cables, accessories, or equipment
units suspected of being defective.
3-7.1 Operational Checks
When installation is complete, perform a visual inspection, to ensure that the radio equipment and the
antenna system have been properly installed, and then carefully check all the operational functions of
the radio set. Whenever possible, perform a communication check with one of the other radio stations
in your net.
When using the cooling tray, make sure that the fan rotates freely, without any unusual noises (upon
power-up, the fan is automatically activated for 10 seconds).
3-7.2 What to Do If ...
3-7.2.1 Preliminary Checks
In case a problem is detected, or the radio set fails to operate, perform the following steps:
1. Visually inspect the radio set, and make sure that the radio set is assembled properly and ready
for operation. Also check that all the accessories are properly connected.
2. In static installations, replace or recharge the battery. The first time a new battery is used, it
should be charged for at least 16 hours.
3. Check the antenna system and its connections. In particular, for whip antennas check that the
whip is screwed on properly, with its base flush against the top of the antenna base or matching
unit.
4. Pay attention to any fault messages that may appear on the Micom-Z display, either upon
power-up or during operation, and refer to para. 3-7.2.2 for instructions.
If the problem persists, identify the closest description appearing in Table 3-1 and then perform the
listed corrective actions until the problem disappears. If problem persists, refer to para. 3-7.2.3.
