ANTENNA (OPTIONAL)

(MLAN1A) HB/UHF 19B209568P1

(MLAN1C) LOW BAND 7491074P1

Installation instructions for the antenna are packaged with the antenna. The

antenna must be installed in accordance with good engineering practice for

optimum results.

A permanent mount type of antenna should be located in the center of the roof or

the center of rear deck. Glass mounted antennas should be kept as high as

possible in the center of the rear window. Some states have laws restricting

vision-obstructing items from the windows. Be aware of local laws before

installing glass mount antennas.

Try to route the cable away from locations where it will be exposed to heat,

sharp edges, or mechanical damage, and where it will be out of the way of the

driver, passengers, or vehicles mechanics. Wherever possible, existing holes in

the trunk wall, and the channels above or beneath doors and window columns

should be utilized.

Avoid routing the antenna cable near any electronic modules or along side any

vehicle wiring.

Connect the antenna cable to the type N connector on the radio.

In station applications, the radio will not operate properly with the antenna

mounted directly on the back of the radio. Always mount the antenna at

least five feet from the radio.

After completing the installation of the two-way radio, the following final

operations should be performed:

FOR U.S. INSTALLATIONS

Have a certified electronics technician make the final adjustments. Instructions

for making these adjustments are included in the maintenance manual for the

radio. These include:

Transmitter: Measure forward and reflected power and adjust antenna length

for optimum ratio. Set the transmitter to rated power output. Measure the

frequency and modulation and record these measurements for future reference.

Vehicle: Check to see if any electrical noise suppression is needed.
