4. Measure and install the primary power for the radio. The red wire on
the GE MDS-provided power cable is the positive lead; the black is
negative.
Only use the MDS 4710/9710 radio transceivers in nega-
tive-ground systems.
Connection to a positive-ground system or an accidental reversal
of the power leads can damage the transceiver.
5. Set the radio configuration. In most cases, the transceiver requires
only minimal software configuration. The selections that must be
made for new installations are:
• Transmit frequency
• Receive frequency
The operating frequencies are not set at the factory unless they were
specified at the time of order. Determine the transmit and receive
frequencies to be used, and follow the steps below to program them.
6. Connect a hand-held terminal (HHT) to the
nector. When the HHT beeps, press
prompt.
7. Set the operating frequencies using the
(receive) commands.

NOTE: To prevent moisture from entering the radio, do not mount the
radio with the cable connectors pointing up. Also, dress all
cables to prevent moisture from running along the cables and
into the radio.
