Install the bracket securely onto the vehicle, using 6 setsof the supplied screws (N99-2024-XX).

Then, prepare the transceiver by loosely screwing in therear screws. Hook those screws onto the rear guide railof the mounting bracket, then adjust the transceiver toyour desired angle before tightening the screws. Insertand tighten the front screws to secure the transceiver inplace.

To remove the transceiver from the bracket, first removethe front screws, then loosen the rear screws slightly andpull the transceiver forward to unlatch it from the bracket.

Do not install the transceiver so that it is vertically on its side.

PREPARATION

INSTALLATIONWhen using the RC-2000 in your vehicle, you can installthe transceiver in the trunk, under the seat or under thedash board. On the transceiver, install the DC cable(7 m/ 23.1 ft), the microphone extension cable(5 m/ 16.5 ft), a cable for the speaker (5 m/ 16.5 ft), acable to the RC-2000 (5 m/ 16.5 ft), and coaxial cable(s)to the antenna (not supplied in this package). Make sureall cable lengths are adequate before installing thebrackets.

TRANSCEIVER INSTALLATION

When installing the metal plates, first attach the plasticspacers (G11-2698-XX) to the transceiver. This isnecessary to protect the TS-2000(X)/ TS-B2000 fromscratches.

Note: The plastic spacers (G11-2698-XX) are supplied accessories forthe TS-2000(X)/ TS-B2000 transceiver.

DC POWER CABLE INSTALLATIONThe vehicle battery must have a nominal rating of 12 V.Never connect the transceiver to a 24 V battery. Be sureto use a 12 V vehicle battery that has sufficient currentcapacity. If the current to the transceiver is insufficient,the display may darken during transmission, or transmitoutput power may drop excessively.

1 Route the DC power cable supplied with thetransceiver directly to the vehicle’s battery terminalsusing the shortest path from the transceiver.

• If you are using a noise filter, it should be installed withan insulator to prevent it from touching any metal on thevehicle.

• We recommend you do not to use the cigarette lightersocket since some cigarette lighter sockets introduce anunacceptable voltage drop.

• If the power cable must be routed through a hole in thevehicle chassis or body, for example in the firewall at thefront of the passenger compartment, use a rubbergrommet to protect the cable from abrasion. Dismantlethe fuse holder to pass the cable through the firewall.

• The entire length of the cable must be dressed so it isisolated from heat, moisture, and the engine secondary(high voltage) ignition system/ cables.

2 After the cable is in place, wind heat-resistant tapearound the fuse holder to protect it from moisture andtie down the full run of cable.

3 To prevent the risk of short circuits, disconnect otherwiring from the negative (–) battery terminal beforeconnecting the transceiver.

4 Confirm the correct polarity of the connections, then

attach the power cable to the battery terminals; redconnects to the positive (+) terminal, black connectsto the negative (–) terminal.• Use the full length of the cable without cutting off any

excess, even if the cable is longer than required. Inparticular, never remove the fuse holders from the cable.

5 Reconnect any wiring you may have removed fromthe negative battery terminal.

6 Connect the DC power cable to the transceiver’spower supply connector.• Press the connectors firmly together until the locking tab

clicks.

OVERVIEWThe TS-2000(X)/ TS-B2000 transceiver has manyfunction controls. However, the RC-2000 mobilecontroller has only 12 keys and 5 controls. In order toaccess all the available functions of the transceiver fromthe RC-2000 mobile controller, the functions are dividedinto 3 groups: A, B, and C. Group A is a primaryfunction group with most of the commonly used keys.Group B is a secondary function group. Group C is aspecial group whose functions change, depending onthe current operating mode.

Within each group, there are several sub-groups, eachidentified by their suffix numbers. Momentarily press[F1] to cycle through each sub-group within yourselected group (A, B, or C). The suffix numbers changeto reflect the currently selected sub-group. To changethe main group (A, B, or C), press and hold [F1] .

As you change the group and sub-group, the availablefunctions for [F2] ~ [F6] change. Press one of [F2] ~[F6] to activate the function which appears on thedisplay above each key.

To access your desired function, first select theappropriate group by pressing and holding [F1] . Next,cycle within the group to the appropriate sub-group bycontinuously pressing [F1] . The selected group andcorresponding number appears on the display above the[F1] key.

The following diagram illustrates how to access eachgroup and sub-group.

For further information on each function, refer to theTS-2000(X)/ TS-B2000 instruction manual. A Quicklook-up table of each operating mode is available,starting on page 47.

SolutionSolution

Situation 2Situation 2

Situation 1Situation 1

You share your transceiver with other members in your family or club. However, each individual has personal preferences for how they like to set various functions. You have to keep changing many settings each time you use the transceiver.

Because 5 PM channels are available, up to 5 persons can separately program the transceiver and store their customized environment. Then each person can quickly change to his or her favorite settings simply by recalling a PM channel. It is too much trouble to change back the settings after somebody else has reconfigured them. So this application may avoid having a feature-rich transceiver but never using many useful features.

While operating mobile on the way to work every morning, you prefer a silent transceiver that does not interrupt the morning calm. In addition, you feel that a bright display is a waste of electricity in sunlight. At night when driving home, you realize the Beep function truly serves a purpose and you feel it is nice to see a bright display after dark.

In two PM channels, store the same operating data such as frequency, offset, tone, etc., and store different settings for the Display Dimmer and Beep functions. Then you can quickly recall the best settings for day or night operating.

43

STORING DATA IN PM CHANNELS1 Confirm that the following conditions have been

satisfied:
