- It all Adds Up

Removing a panel: If you are unsure how to remove a
molding or panel, don’t use force or try prying it with an
improper tool. You may mar the surface of the plastic or
damage the fasteners, some of which use small locking tabs
or clips cast into the panels. Special tools are available to
remove panels without damage.
Driving safety. Keep driving safety in mind: ensure that
the transceiver, control head, amplifier, and antenna coupler
do not block your field of vision (front, side, or rear), do not
block your ability to see through side-view and rear-view
mirrors, and do not interfere with the operation of gearshift
or pedals.
Locating the control head: The PowerTalk control head is
your “command and control” link to the SG-2000 transceiver.
Its large high- visibility frequency display and rugged spin-
ner tuning knob makes operation in a mobile environment
safe and easy.
There are many locations possible for mobile operation:
below the dash, on the dash, above the dash, and overhead.
Choose a safe location that will neither interfere with your
view of the road nor hamper vehicle operation.
Mounting the control head: The control head can be
installed either on a mounting bracket or on an adjustable
suction-cup mounting arm for dashboard or window sur-
faces. (SGC Catalog No. 04-25)

affords three important aspects that concern avid mobile
operators/car owners:6
