Radio Installation

Installing the microphone

Important: The microphone grommet must be installed 

whenever the microphone is plugged into the micro-

phone socket. When installed, the grommet has two functions:

■

to prevent damage to the microphone socket when there 

is movement of the microphone cord, and

■

to ensure that the control head is sealed against water, 

dust and other environmental hazards.

1. Plug the microphone into the microphone socket on the 

control head.

2. Slide the microphone grommet along the microphone 

cord and push two adjacent corners of the grommet into 

the microphone socket cavity.

3. Squeeze the grommet and push the remaining corners 

into position.

4. Check that the grommet is seated correctly in the cavity.

Installing the antenna

Install the external antenna according to the supplier’s 

instructions. Good quality 50 ohm coaxial cable must be 

used, such as RG58 or UR76.

Important: The cable should be routed in a manner that 

minimizes coupling into the electronic control systems 

of the vehicle.

Warning: RF exposure hazard

To comply with FCC RF exposure limits, this product must be 

installed using an externally mounted antenna with either a 

2.15dBi or 5.15dBi gain.
