BEFORE YOU BEGIN
This manual was created to show you how to access the
functions you want to operate, and how to quickly
configure the transceiver, through the use of the
RC-2000.  If you are operating the TS-2000(X)/
TS-B2000 transceiver for the first time, we recommend
you read the TS-2000(X)/ TS-B2000 instruction manual
before operating the RC-2000.  Since this manual does
not cover the functions in detail, make sure you have the
TS-2000(X)/ TS-B2000 instruction manual handy for
reference....

of the supplied screws (N99-2024-XX).

your desired angle before tightening the screws.  Insert

place.
To remove the transceiver from the bracket, first remove
the front screws, then loosen the rear screws slightly and...

DC POWER CABLE INSTALLATION
The vehicle battery must have a nominal rating of 12 V.
Never connect the transceiver to a 24 V battery.  Be sure
to use a 12 V vehicle battery that has sufficient current
capacity.  If the current to the transceiver is insufficient,
the display may darken during transmission, or transmit
output power may drop excessively.
1Route the DC power cable supplied with the
transceiver directly to the vehicleÕs battery terminals
using the shortest path from the transceiver.
