Model MXT575
CONNECTING THE RADIO TO A POWER SOURCE
1. Connect the positive lead (RED wire with in-line fuse holder) to either (a)
the fuse block or (b) directly to the positive post of the vehicle’s battery.
NOTE: The fuse block is usually the most convenient connection point.
The power cord positive lead can also be connected to the
Accessory terminal on the fuse block or ignition switch, so the
radio automatically turns off when the ignition is turned off.
2. Tightly connect the ground lead (BLACK wire) directly to the vehicle’s
metal frame. A good direct metal-to-metal ground is essential for
optimum performance.
CONNECTING THE MICROPHONE
Insert the RJ45 connector into the front of the MXT575.
USING AN EXTERNAL SPEAKER
The MXT575 provides a rear-panel jack for connection of an optional
external speaker (sold separately). The rear-panel jack is compatible with
3.5mm audio connector. When selecting an external speaker, ensure the
speaker has 8-ohm impedance and is rated for 4 Watts.
NOTE: When an external speaker is connected, the radio’s internal
speaker is automatically disabled.
USING AN INTERCOM
The MXT575 provides rear-panel jack for connection to an intercom or
headsets with a TA5 mini XLR connector. The optional 4.5mm to mini XLR
cable will be required.
