Installation

General

The MDCs are shipped pre-programmed with the appropriate communications and

application software. In some cases, however, it is necessary to re-program the units with

updated files prior to installing them. Please refer to the MDC Programming application

note for details on re-programming the units.

MDC Mounting Bracket

The type of MDC mounting bracket will vary depending on the type of vehicle that the

MDC is being installed in. It will also depend on whether or not an Express QWERTY

keyboard is to be mounted with the MDC. The mounting brackets may be ordered

through Mentor, or through a third party supplier. The following information provides the

details necessary for ordering a mounting bracket along with an adapter plate for the MDC.
