OPTION INTERCONNECTION DIAGRAM • • out of the way of auto mechanics. out of the way of passengers. It is suggested that the radio be installed by one of the many authorized General Electric Service Stations located throughout the United States. These experienced service stations can provide a proper radio installation and make any final adjustments that may be needed.
EQUIPMENT REQUIRED NOTES The equipment required for installing the MDX Mobile Radio is listed below: • • • • • • • Electric drill for drilling mounting holes. Drills and circle cutters as follows: • No. 31 (1/8-inch) drill for No. 8 self-tapping screws. • No. 27 (9/64-inch) drill for No. 10 self-tapping screws. • 5/8-inch drill or circle cutter for power cable. • 3/4-inch circle cutter, hole saw or socket punch for antenna (optional).
INSTALLATION IN VEHICLES POWERED BY LIQUEFIED (LP) GAS NOTES Radio installation in vehicles powered by liquefied petroleum gas with the LP-gas container in the trunk or other sealed-offspace within the interior of the vehicle must conform to the National Fire Protection Association Standard NFPA 58 which requires that: • • • Space containing radio equipment shall be isolated by a seal from the space containing the LP-gas container and its fittings.
INSTALLATION NOTES RUNNING CABLES To assure the feasibility of the planned cable routings. it is suggested that the cables be run before mounting the radio. Be sure to leave some slack in each cable going to the radio so that the radio may be pulled out for servicing with the power applied and antenna attached. Try to route the cables away from locations where they will be exposed to heat (exhaust pipes, mufflers, tailpipes. etc.).
4. Push the prepared fuse connectors into each section of the fuse holders. Place the fuse into a fuse holder section until it seats within the connector. Connect the fuse holder sections to insure a tight fit and connection.
Connect the orange fused lead to the positive (+) battery terminal, and black to the negative (-) battery terminal. Always locate the fuse as close to the battery as possible. Connect the red fused lead to the ignition on" sense point (preferably an "Accessory" point on the fuse panel that is switched on when the ignition switch is in the accessory position and in the "run" position). Locate the fuse as close as possible to the accessory point.
ALARM (HORN) RELAY KIT - OPTION PMSUIC (19A705499P1) Requires the use of option cable kit - option PMCC3N.

Figure 6 - Microphone Hanger Figure 8- Option Cable Pin Locations NOTE If mounting on a surface covered with carpet, punch holes with a small punch then make a small slit in the carpet, insert a short piece of metal tubing and drill through the tubing. Use the following procedure to mount the microphone hanger: 1. Use the hanger as a template to mark the screw locations and drill the three small pilot holes. 2. Use the self tapping screws to mount the hanger in an upright position.
MICROPHONE The microphone connects to the MDX Mobile Radio using a plug found at the end of its attached cable. Match the pins on this plug to the pin socket on the radio and press in the plug being sure not to damage the pins. Once the plug is seated, tighten down the plug using the thumbscrew on the mic connector. To remove the plug reverse this procedure. A permanent mount type of antenna should be located in the center of the roof of center of rear deck.
