Important Safety Instructions
Manual contains important safety and operating instructions and must be read in conjunction with the
product safety information supplied with the mobile or portable radios, used with the accessories.
Read these instructions carefully and save them for future reference. Installation of communications
equipment must be performed by qualified personnel only. Read the instructions and cautionary
markings on all other items before using the Vehicular Cradle Kit. Consult vehicle manufacturer
guidance on mounting equipment in vehicles.
Safety and General Information
A properly installed Vehicular Cradle Kit minimizes service calls.
When mounting the components of the Vehicular Cradle Kit, consider the following factors:
• The mounting surface must have sufficient strength to support the item being mounted to prevent it
from becoming loose over time.
• Do not attach components to any part of the vehicle that is subject to excessive vibration.
• The proposed location of the item being mounted, wires, or cables attached must not interfere with
the driver or passenger seating or leg space.
• Use the supplied mounting hardware.
• Ensure that the cables are not stretched and not subject to heat from the engine, transmission
housing, or heating ducts.
• Crimp connectors securely.
• Do not run cables over sharp edges that may cause excessive wear or chaffing of the cable
insulation.
• Do not install components in locations where they may cause interference to the operation of the
vehicle controls.
Check the required mounting locations. Modern cars are equipped with power supply connections
for mobile phone inside the passengers cabin. It is preferable to connect the power cable to these
connections.
On some vehicles, it is necessary to penetrate the bulkhead to reach the battery. Ensure that there
is cable clearance on the opposite side of the bulkhead and that vehicle Electronic Control Modules
(ECM) are not installed on the opposite side of the bulkhead before drilling commences. Protect the
cable where it passes through the bulkhead by using a grommet or similar protective measures.
