ABOUT THIS MANUAL
you are operating in the Satellite mode.
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.

PREPARATION
Install the bracket securely onto the vehicle, using 6 sets
of the supplied screws (N99-2024-XX).
INSTALLATION
When using the RC-2000 in your vehicle, you can install
the transceiver in the trunk, under the seat or under the
dash 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), a
cable to the RC-2000 (5 m/ 16.5 ft), and coaxial cable(s)
to the antenna (not supplied in this package). Make sure
all cable lengths are adequate before installing the
brackets.

Then, prepare the transceiver by loosely screwing in the
rear screws. Hook those screws onto the rear guide rail
of the mounting bracket, then adjust the transceiver to
your desired angle before tightening the screws. Insert
and tighten the front screws to secure the transceiver in
place.
TRANSCEIVER INSTALLATION
When installing the metal plates, first attach the plastic
spacers (G11-2698-XX) to the transceiver. This is
necessary to protect the TS-2000(X)/ TS-B2000 from
scratches.
Rear screws
Note: The plastic spacers (G11-2698-XX) are supplied accessories for
the TS-2000(X)/ TS-B2000 transceiver.

Front screws
To remove the transceiver from the bracket, first remove
the front screws, then loosen the rear screws slightly and
pull the transceiver forward to unlatch it from the bracket.

SPEAKER AND MIC CABLE INSTALLATION
MODULAR PLUG CABLE CONNECTION
Connect the speaker extension cable plug to the
EXT.SP1 or EXT.SP2 connector {TS-2000 page 78}.
Then connect a plug from the speaker to the jack as
shown below. Connect the microphone extension cable
between the microphone jack on the front of the
transceiver and the microphone connector, as shown
below.
Use the supplied modular plug cable to connect the front
panel to the main unit. Connect the 4-pin plug to the
front panel and 6-pin plug to the main unit.
Note: It is easy to identify between the plugs, as the 6-pin plug is slightly
wider than the 4-pin plug.

attach the power cable to the battery terminals; red
connects to the positive (+) terminal, black connects
to the negative (–) terminal.
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.
•
Use the full length of the cable without cutting off any
excess, even if the cable is longer than required. In
particular, never remove the fuse holders from the cable.
Red
1 Route the DC power cable supplied with the
transceiver directly to the vehicle’s battery terminals
using the shortest path from the transceiver.

•
If you are using a noise filter, it should be installed with
an insulator to prevent it from touching any metal on the
vehicle.

the negative battery terminal.
6 Connect the DC power cable to the transceiver’s
power supply connector.
If the power cable must be routed through a hole in the
vehicle chassis or body, for example in the firewall at the
front of the passenger compartment, use a rubber
grommet to protect the cable from abrasion. Dismantle
the fuse holder to pass the cable through the firewall.
•
Press the connectors firmly together until the locking tab
clicks.
•
The entire length of the cable must be dressed so it is
isolated from heat, moisture, and the engine secondary
(high voltage) ignition system/ cables.
2 After the cable is in place, wind heat-resistant tape
around the fuse holder to protect it from moisture and
tie down the full run of cable.
3 To prevent the risk of short circuits, disconnect other
wiring from the negative (–) battery terminal before
connecting the transceiver.
4 Confirm the correct polarity of the connections, then

CYCLING THE KEY GROUPS
The following diagram illustrates how to access each
group and sub-group.
OVERVIEW
The TS-2000(X)/ TS-B2000 transceiver has many
function controls. However, the RC-2000 mobile
controller has only 12 keys and 5 controls. In order to
access all the available functions of the transceiver from
the RC-2000 mobile controller, the functions are divided
into 3 groups: A, B, and C. Group A is a primary
function group with most of the commonly used keys.
Group B is a secondary function group. Group C is a
special group whose functions change, depending on
the current operating mode.
For further information on each function, refer to the
TS-2000(X)/ TS-B2000 instruction manual. A Quick
look-up table of each operating mode is available,
starting on page 47.
