8.3 CONTROL HEAD INSTALLATION
8.3.1
General Information
The remote-mount M7300 mobile radio must be connected to a control head to provide the operator-to-
radio interface. Two different control heads are available — the CH-721 Scan model and the CH-721
System model. See Figure 8-5 and Figure 8-6 respectively. The CH-721 Scan model control head features
three (3) large menu selection buttons. The System model control head has a 12-button keypad to allow
advanced operations without the need of a DTMF-capable microphone.
Figure 8-7 on page 56 illustrates the rear panel of the two control head models. Both models have
identical rear panels and rear panel connectors.
