Introduction
1.1
General Information
There are two methods of installing your mobile radio:
1. The standard radio package contains a direct mounting trunnion and power cables.
2. CM200/CM300 mobile radios may be mounted in the dashboard of a car using the required DIN
Mount Kit FTN6083.
An accessory connector on the rear of the radio (see Figure 4-1) enables you to attach different
accessories required for the installation.
A eight-pin telephone type connector on the front control head panel provides for the connection of
various types of microphones.
1.2
Plan the Installation
1. Mount the radio horizontally near the driver, so the driver can easily view, access, and operate
the controls and accessories.
2. Ensure that the location is not exposed to dirt and moisture.
3. Verify that there will be sufficient space around the mobile unit for air flow and installation.
4. Check that there is enough routing space for the power cable connector and the antenna coaxial
cable.
5. Plan the best place to run connections to minimize chafing, pinching, crushing, and overheating
of wires and cables.
CAUTION: In a vehicle with an airbag, make sure that the mounting location of the mobile
!
radio, or any radio accessory, is not in the deployment path of the air bag.
