2.3.2 SELECTING A MOUNTING LOCATION
Front-mount transceivers are designed for mounting in a location near the operator
such as the dash, console, or transmission hump. Remote-mount transceivers are
designed for mounting in an out-of-the-way location such as the trunk.
WARNING
The mounting location of the transceiver or control unit can affect safe operation of
the vehicle. Follow these precautions when installing this transceiver:
• Mount it where it does not interfere with operation of the vehicle controls and where the
operator can easily see the display and reach the controls.
• Mount it where it is least likely to cause additional injury in case of an accident.
• Air bags deploy with great force. Therefore, do not mount a transceiver or control unit
anywhere near the deployment area or place any other objects in the deployment area.

2.3.4 MOUNTING STANDARD POWER TRANSCEIVER
Proceed as follows to mount a standard power front or remote mount transceiver:
1. Check the area underneath the selected mounting area for wiring, brake and gas lines, or
other components that could be damaged when the mounting bracket is installed. Then install the
mounting bracket using the included self-drilling screws or other screws if desired.
2. Install the transceiver in the bracket using the included knobs.
3. With front-mount transceivers, install the microphone hanger in a convenient location
using the screws for sheet metal or plastic. The hanger must be connected to chassis ground for
proper operation of functions such as monitoring and scan. If required, ground the hanger using
the included ground wire.
