collar counter clockwise, so that the connector is in
the unlocked position.
2. Ensure the cable’s connector is correctly oriented
(groove pointing up).
3. Fully insert the cable connector..

4.9 Connecting a VHF antenna
The radio must be connected to a suitable VHF antenna
(not supplied). The antenna connection must be
protected so it cannot come into contact with any bare
metal (which may be grounded). A protective boot is
supplied that can be used to ensure isolation of the
antenna connection.
1. Disconnect your antenna cable from the connector.
2. Push the antenna cable through the supplied
protective boot.
3. Re-connect the antenna cable to the connector.
4. Plug the antenna connector into the product’s
antenna connection and secure by tightening the
locking collar.
5. Push the protective boot over the connection.
6. Secure the protective boot using the supplied cable
ties.
If the antenna connector cannot be removed then
another suitable means of protection must be used,
such as insulation tape.
