INSTALLATION
STEP 1 - PLAN THE INSTALLATION
Figure 1 shows an example of a typical connection diagram. Before
beginning, plan the radio installation carefully so that it will:
! Be safe for the operator and passengers,
! Be convenient for the operator to use,
! Be neat in appearance,
! Be protected from water damage,
! Be easy to service,
! Be out of the way of auto mechanics,
! Be out of the way of passengers, and
! Allow for good air flow around the unit’s cooling fins.
For passenger safety, mount the radio securely so the unit will not
break loose in the event of a collision. This is especially important
in station wagons, vans and similar type installations where a loose
radio could be extremely dangerous to the vehicle occupants.
The procedures in this section provide a guideline for installing the
mobile radio. In some applications, it may be necessary to deviate
slightly from the recommended procedure and the order in which the
equipment is installed.
To assure the feasibility of the cable routes you plan to use, it is
suggested that you run the cables before installing the radio. Be sure
to leave some slack in each cable so that the radio may be pulled out
for servicing with the power applied.
It is recommended the unit be installed by one of the many Com-Net
Ericsson Authorized Service Centers located throughout the United
States. Personnel at these centers are experienced in installations of
this type and can provide a safe, neat, and functional installation.
