Fuse
n  Power  c able  c onnection (PG-5J)
   Fixed Station
 
In order to use the PG-5J for fixed station operation, you will need a s\
eparate 
 3.8 V DC power supply that must be purchased separately.  
Note:  Do not plug the DC power supply into an AC outlet until you make all co\
nnections.
 Mobile Installation
 
Be sure to use a   2 V vehicle battery that has sufficient current capacity.  If the 
current to the PG-5J is insufficient, the display may darken during tran\
smission 
or the transmit output power may drop excessively.  Never connect the 
transceiver to a 24 V battery.
Note:  Install the PG-5J Interface Box using the included screw set in a loca\
tion where it will not interfere with driving.
n  Replacing Fuses (PG-5J)
  If the fuse blows, determine the cause, then correct the problem.  After\
 the 
problem is resolved, replace the fuse.  If newly installed fuses continu\
e to 
blow, disconnect the power cable and contact your authorized Kenwood 
dealer or an authorized Kenwood service center for assistance.
Only use fuses of the specified type and rating; otherwise the PG-5J cou\
ld be damaged.
