Antenna Installation

4.1

Antenna Installation and Compliance with Radio Frequency (RF)

Energy Safety Standards

IMPORTANT

NOTE

NOTE For mobile radios with rated power of 7 watts or less, the only installation restrictions

are to use only Motorola approved antennas and install the antenna externally on

metal body vehicles. For mobile radios with rated power greater than 7 watts, always

adhere to all the guidelines and restrictions in 4.2 below.

4.2

1. External installation – Check the requirements of the antenna supplier and install the vehicle

antenna external to a metal-body vehicle in accordance with those requirements.

2. Roof top – For optimum performance and compliance with RF Energy Safety standards, mount

the antenna in the center area of the roof.

3. Trunk lid – On some vehicles with clearly defined, flat trunk lids, the antennas of some radio

models (see restrictions below) can also be mounted on the center area of the trunk lid. For

vehicles without clearly defined, flat trunk lids (such as hatchback autos, sport utility vehicles, and

pick-up trucks), mount the antenna in the center area of the roof.

Before installing an antenna on the trunk lid,

•

Be sure that the distance from the antenna location on the trunk lid will be at least 85cm (33

inches) from the front surface of the rear seat-back to assure compliance with RF Energy

Safety standards

•

Ensure that the trunk lid is grounded by connecting grounding straps between the trunk lid

and the vehicle chassis

IF THESE CONDITIONS CANNOT BE SATISFIED, THEN MOUNT THE ANTENNA ON THE

ROOF TOP!

To assure optimum performance and compliance with RF Energy Safety

standards, this antenna installation guidelines and instructions are limited to

metal-body vehicles with appropriate ground planes and take into account the

potential exposure of backseat passengers and bystanders outside the

vehicle.
