MICROPHONE CONNECTIONS
Normally, the microphone is shipped connected to the microphone jack on
the bottom of the radio. A cable clamp is used for strain relief and is attached
to the bottom of the radio using a M4-0.7x8 Hex Head screw.
MICROPHONE BRACKET
Mount the magnetic microphone bracket where it will be within easy reach
of the operator, but will not interfere with safe operation of the vehicle. Refer
to Figure 7 for bracket dimensions. The microphone must be placed in the
hanger so that the cord end of the mike housing is over the magnet assembly.
To mount the bracket, drill three No. 32 (1/8-inch) pilot holes, and use the No.
8 x 5/8 screws supplied with the bracket.

The magnetic hookswitch must be used with Channel Guard
applications.

ANTENNA
Installation instructions for the antenna are packaged with the antenna. The
antenna must be installed in accordance with good engineering practices for
optimum results.
A permanent mount type of antenna should be located in the center of the
roof or 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 window. Be familiar with local laws before install-
ing 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 vehicle 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 TNC connector on the radio.
Figure 7 - Microphone Bracket Mounting
In station applications, the radio may not operate properly with
the antenna mounted near the radio. Always mount the antenna
at least 5 feet from the radio.
