4. Slide the transceiver into the mounting bracket and secure it using the four
thumbscrews.
5. Using the supplied M4x6 screws, mount the microphone hanger in a location where it
will easily be in reach of the user.
•
It is important that the microphone and microphone cable not be mounted such
that they interfere with the safe operation of the vehicle.
•
Use the microphone hanger bracket as a template to mark and drill the 0.141 inch
holes.
6. Connect the microphone to the jack on the front of the transceiver. The connector is
an RJ-45 type and is keyed to allow connection in only one direction. Place the
microphone on the hang up clip.
ANTENNA MOUNTING
Large, flat conductive surfaces provide the best mounting location for the antenna. In
almost all vehicles, the requirement for a large, flat surface are best satisfied by mounting
the antenna at the center of the roof. In the case where the vehicle has a large trunk lid,
the lid provides a good antenna location. If the trunk lid is used, grounding straps should
be connected between the trunk lid and the vehicle chassis to improve grounding of the
lid and ensure it is at chassis ground.
Types of antennas that can be used include:
1.
Magnetic Mount Antennas
2.
Mobile Window Mounted Antennas
3.
Mobile Roof Mount Antennas

antenna and any passenger/bystander and 50% operational duty cycle
Antennas with gains of less than or equal to 5 dBd as specified in the above table respect
to the mounting configuration and application comply with the FCC RF exposure
regulations and are allowed for use with this product.
