Motorcycle Radio Mounting Bracket
POWER CONSIDERATIONS
The motorcycle may be equipped with additional lights, light flashers,
sirens, PA systems, etc. Therefore, consideration must be given to the total
system current drain. It is recommended that the radios be set to not exceed
the applicable rated RF power output and current drain shown in Table 1 for
all J
AGUAR
725M motorcycle applications.
CAUTION
Do NOT
use a J
AGUAR
725M mobile radio with power
exceeding the power limits shown in Table 1 for motorcycle
applications. To do so will result in damage to the
motorcycle alternator, battery, and all circuits. Also, the
possibility of interference is increased if the proper RF
power level is not used. As a final note, RF power may not
be set to exceed the maximum regulatory RF power
specified by that country’s regulatory agency.
RF Power Adjustments
For factory installed options the maximum RF power levels are factory
preset and should only require verification in the field. See Table 1.
For field installed options, the RF power of previously purchased J
AGUAR
725M mobile radios in the field must be appropriately set via modification
of the maximum RF power tracking data fields. The left column is set for
rated power (example: 250 for 25.0 watts). The tracking data numbers are
adjusted to produce RF power as specified in the actual “J
AGUAR
725M
Motorcycle Radio RF Power” column in Table 1.
NOTE
High power J
AGUAR
725M mobile radios
CANNOT
be
used in motorcycle applications. The RF power cannot be
turned down sufficiently to meet regulatory specifications.
