Installation
Before installing the mobile radio, please read the following precautions
carefully. These precautions are applicable to both vehicular or fixed station
installations.
Precautions
•
This mobile only operates off a 13.6VDC, ±15% negative ground power
system. Please verify the power system and its operational capability before
installation.
• Before installation ensure that the mobile mounting bracket screws are
sufficient in length and that they do no protrude through the opposite surface
in a way that may damage other components. Care should be exercised in
drilling these mounting holes.
• The supplied mounting bracket shall be used for all installations. It shall be
firmly attached in the mounting location with supplied hardware to ensure
radio cannot break lose and cause damage or physical injury.
• Vehicle mounting location should be away from heat sources and airbags
to ensure no physical interference with these devices and mobile radios.
Adequate space around the radio shall be supplied to ensure cooling during
operation.
•
Fixed station installation shall be such that the radio is firmly affixed to the
power supply or mounting so radio does not fall on floor or other surfaces
that may damage it or the user.
• The radio shall be installed in a location that is convenient for accessing the
radio’s front panel.
• The microphone shall be placed so that it does not interfere with the user
when not in use.
• The DC power cord shall be routed such that it does not cause issues for
the user or the installation. It is recommended that for vehicle installation
that the power cord is directly attached to the battery or per the vehicle
manufacturer’s recommendation. Please contact the vehicular manufacturer
for guidance.
• Do not replace the power cord fuse with a higher value that what is supplied.
