Operational Caution
1. To reduce risk of injury, use only Motorola Solutions
approved items with the Vehicle Charger Mounting
Adapter.
2. It is essential to mount the equipment in locations
where it will not cause any injury in the event of a
collision.
3. A vehicle air bag inflates with great force. Do not place
objects, including communications equipment, in the area
over the vehicle air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If
the communication equipment is improperly installed and the
vehicle air bag inflates, this could cause serious injury. If
necessary, contact the vehicle manufacturer for air bag
information specific to the vehicle.

the portable radio such as cruise control, Anti-lock Braking
System (ABS) braking, traction control, engine management,
direction indicators, lights, and others.

If drilling is necessary, ensure that no damage is incurred to
the vehicle Electronic Control Modules (ECM), fuel pipes,
brake pipes, and/or cable looms.
