Mounting and Connection

Hold the radio with the mounting bracket in

the exact desired location. If there is no inter-
ference, remove the bracket and use it as a
template to mark the location for the mount-
ing screws.

Location

Plan location of transceiver and microphone
bracket before starting the installation.

Select a location that is convenient for operation,
yet does not interfere with the driver or passenger.

The transceiver is usually mounted to the under-
side of the dash with the microphone bracket
beside it.

Note
The transceiver is held in the
universal mounting bracket by
two thumbscrews which allow
for adjustment at a convenient
angle.

The bracket includes two self-
tapping screws and star wash-
ers. The mounting must be
mechanically strong, conve-
niently located.

continued

Drill the holes and secure the bracket.

Connect the antenna cable plug to the recep-

tacle marked “ANT” on the back of the unit.
