Installing the Connector Mount
Before drilling a hole to mount the connector, you should verify
that the microphone cable is long enough to reach the back of
the stereo and the connector mounting location.
You can use the included hardware to mount the connector on
the end of the microphone cable onto the dashboard or other
mounting surface.
1
Orient the mounting plate with the flat edge of the central
hole pointing to the left, and place it on the surface where
you plan to mount the connector.
If you orient the plate with the flat surface pointing to any
direction other than the left, the microphone cable will not
point downward when you connect it.
2
Using the mounting plate as a template, trace the cable
hole in the center of the mounting plate, and mark the screw
locations.
3
Set the mounting plate aside.
Do not drill through the mounting plate.
4
Using a 16 mm (
5
/
8
in.) drill bit, drill the center cable hole
in the mounting surface.
5
Using a 2.5 mm (
3
/
32
in.) drill bit, drill the pilot holes.
6
Place the rubber gasket between the mounting plate and
the mounting surface.
7
Using the included screws, attach the mounting plate and
gasket to the mounting surface.
8
Route the microphone cable to the back of the stereo and to
the connector mount.
9
Feed the connector through the back of the mounting
surface.
10
Secure the connector and weather cap to the mounting
plate using the nut .
NOTICE
If you disconnect the microphone from the connector, you
should secure the weather cap to avoid corrosion on the
connector contacts.
Mounting the Microphone Hanger
NOTICE
If you are mounting the bracket on fiberglass with screws, it is
recommended to use a countersink bit to drill a clearance
counterbore through only the top gel-coat layer. This will help to
avoid cracking in the gel-coat layer when the screws are
tightened.
You can mount the microphone hanger in a convenient location
near the radio.
1
Select a mounting location for the microphone within reach of
the microphone cable.
2
Using the microphone hanger as a template, mark the pilot
holes.
3
Drill the mounting holes using a 3 mm (
1
/
8
in.) drill bit.
4
Secure the microphone hanger to the mounting surface using
the included screws .
