General Guidelines for Radio Installation

This product must be installed in a vehicle in accordance with the vehicle manufacturer guidelines and the instruction
detailed in this manual. Only the specified Motorola parts in this manual should be used.
Failure to do so could result in non-compliance to the Automotive Directive (72/245/EEC, as amended by 95/54/EC).
For products fitted to two and three wheeled vehicles, Directive 97/24/EC applies.
This radio is only designed and certified to be used for terrestrial use only.
An accessory connector on the rear of the radio enables you to attach different accessories (see section "Accessory
Connection Plan").
A mobile microphone port on the front control head panel provides for the connection of various types of
microphones.
You can install the radio in a vehicle, using one of these methods:
• Using the direct mounting trunnion and power cables supplied with a standard radio package.
• Remote mounted in the car radio cut-out (using the required din mounting kit PMLN5094), per ISO7736.
• Two types of the Remote Mount.
Note:
This radio is only made for 12 V power supply connection. In vehicles with 24 V power supply, a DC/DC
converter is required. Use only DC/DC converter vendors, who provide a certification for vehicle
installation and meet radio Power Supply specification. Motorola recommends a suitable range of DC/DC
converters available from Alfatronix LTD UK. Some models are also available through Motorola Radio
Aftermarket and Accessory Division (AAD), check with your Account Manager.
Be aware when planning the installation that there is a current consumption of max. 4.5A during PTT and
up to 30mA (non-Ethernet)/ 90mA (Ethernet) when the radio is switched off. For Power Supply
specification see
The radio should be mounted horizontally near the driver, so the driver can easily view, access, and operate the
controls, microphone (location of the microphone clip), and other accessories. Before installation consider the
following factors:
• Ensure that the location for the radio installation is not exposed to dirt and moisture.
• Verify that the space around the mobile unit is sufficient for air flow and installation.
• Check that there is enough routing space for the power cable connector and the antenna coaxial cable.
• Plan the best place to run connections to minimize pinching, crushing, and overheating of wires and cables.
• In a vehicle with an airbag, make sure that the mounting location of the radio, or of any radio accessory, is not in
the deployment path of the air bag.
