INSTALLATION
1.0 Introduction
1.1 General Information
There are two methods of installing your mobile radio:
1. Using the direct mounting trunnion and power cables supplied with a standard radio package.
2. Mounted in the car radio cut-out (using the required GLN7320_ mounting kit, per ISO7736).
An accessory connector on the rear of the radio (see Figure 1-4 Connections to the Back of Radio)
enables you to attach different accessories required for the installation.
A ten-pin telephone type connector on the front control head panel (see Figure 1-5 Transmission
Hump Mounting (Top) and Below Dash Mounting (Bottom)) 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 pinching, crushing, and overheating of
wires and cables.
2.0 DC Power Cable Installation
2.1 Planning the Power Cable Installation
The 3 metres (10 feet) DC power cable shipped with the radio should be long enough to be installed
in most vehicles. Take the following precautions before you begin:
Whenever possible, avoid routing the cable above the catalytic converter.
Use grommets whenever a cable has to pass through a hole in a metal panel.
NOTE
In a vehicle with an airbag, make sure that the mounting location of the mobile radio, or of
any radio accessory, is not in the deployment path of the air bag.
CAUTION: This radio must be operated only in negative ground electrical systems.
Operating the radio on a positive ground system will cause the cable fuse to short-circuit.
Check the vehicle ground polarity before you begin the installation.
