Installation of the
Mounting Trunnion,
HLN6855

1. Select the location to mount your VRS750. The VRS750 must be

mounted within six feet of the mobile radio. Allow sufficient
space around the VRS750 for free air flow for cooling.

2. Using the trunnion mounting bracket as a template, mark the

positions of the holes on the mounting surface.

3. Center-punch the spots you have marked and drill a 4 mm (0.16

inch) hole at each.

4. Secure the trunnion mounting bracket with the four screws

provided (see Figure 4).

5. Connect the VRS-to-Mobile cable to the 25 pin connector on the

bottom of the VRS750.

6. Position the VRS750 in the trunnion.

7. Secure the VRS750 with the two wing screws, and the split and

flat washers provided.
