4.1.6 Selecting a Mounting Location
Choose a safe and sensible location for the mobile radio and mounting bracket, ensuring that
the installation:
♦
Is easy to operate when seat belts are worn.
♦
Does not inconvenience driver or passengers when seated, or when entering or exiting the
vehicle.
♦
Will not injure occupants if the vehicle suffers an impact.
♦
Does not interrupt the airflow from heater or air-conditioning vents.
Suitable mounting places include the dash, console or transmission hump.
Avoid mounting in small enclosed spaces (e.g. glove lockers). To prevent excessive self-
heating, the mobile radio should have an unobstructed airflow space of at least 20 mm at the
rear.
4.2 Mobile Radio Installation
4.2.1 Mounting Mobile Radio, Microphone and Speaker
Check that the mobile mounting bracket fixing screws will not damage any cables, brake or
fuel lines when they are fitted. Then install the mounting bracket using the self-tapping screws
provided. Mounting bracket dimensions and fixing hole centers are shown in Figure 4-1.
Install the mobile radio in the bracket using the rubber grips and fixing knobs included in the
kit. The rubber grips can be fitted in two ways. One way locks the mobile radio rigidly in the
bracket. The other provides a friction mount allowing the mobile radio to be tilted to the
desired angle.
