Hardware Setup
When shipped, the dual remote-mount configuration consists of a dash-mount radio, a
remote control head, a conversion kit for the second control head, and required cabling.
Upon receipt, the installer must convert the dash-mount mobile radio into a remote-mount
configuration using instructions contained in the installation manual (part number 004-
5300-73001) which is supplied with the unit.
In the dual remote control configuration, the EFJohnson noise-cancelling microphone
(part number 589-0016-592) can be used on both control heads. This microphone can be
identified by the small circular metal grill above the hang-up button on the rear of the
microphone. Use of other microphones in this configuration will result in degraded
operational performance.

Radio Programming using PC Configure
No special programming is required for dash-mount mobiles with a single remote control
head.
