Mounting and Connection

    Hold the radio with the mounting bracket 

in the exact desired location. If there is no 

interference, remove the bracket and use it 

as a template to mark the location for the 

mounting 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 

underside 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 
washers. The mounting must 
be mechanically strong, 
conveniently located.

 continued

  Drill the holes and secure the bracket.
