12.2 INITIAL POWER-UP TEST
1. Carefully reconnect the vehicle’s battery ground cable.
2. At the radio’s main waterproof fuse holder installed near the vehicle battery, insert the 20-amp blade
fuse that was included with the radio’s DC Power Cable. The 15-amp fuse included with the cable is
not used in this application of the cable.
3. Tie and stow all fuse holders at this location to prevent excess vibration/movement.
4. If not already, temporarily connect the mobile antenna cable from the vehicle-mounted mobile antenna
to the female TNC RF connector on the rear panel of the radio. This is a temporary connection until the
performance tests in Section 12.3 are complete.
5. Permanently connect the antenna cable from the GPS antenna (or mobile/GPS combo antenna) to the
female SMA connector on the rear panel of the radio. The male SMA connector on most GPS antenna
cables has a 5/16-inch hex collar, so the use of a wrench of this same size is normally required for
tightening. However, some may have collars with only knurled surfaces, so a standard wrench or torque
wrench cannot be used. In either case, do not over tighten the connector and do not twist the cable when
tightening.
6. If the installation is wired so the vehicle’s ignition key/switch turns the radio on and off, turn the switch
to the Accessory or Run position.
7. If the radio is not already powered up, do so by rotating the Control Head’s on/off/volume control
clockwise out of the Off detent position.
8. Verify the Control Head has powered-up by observing its display. If the display is not functioning, refer
to the Ignition Sense Location and Considerations information presented in Section 6.3.3, on page 30.
If the software configuration parameters have been loaded, successful installation is almost
immediately realized:
• After a short boot-up sequence, the Control Head displays system/zone and/or the selected talk
group.
• If no errors are displayed, the installation is most-likely properly wired.
• If an error is displayed, recheck all cable connections, verify all fuses are properly installed, and
verify battery power on the load side of the fuses, etc. If problems persist, contact the Technical
Assistance Center (see page 97).
• Consult the Operator’s Manual for operational information.
9. Advance to Section 12.3 and complete the performance test procedures.
