for the connectors/cables that must mate to the connectors on the rear panel of the head. The control head
can be mounted under or on top of a mounting surface (typically the vehicle’s dash) as space permits
using either the standard U-shaped mounting bracket or the optional mounting pedestal.
The size and weight of the control head necessitate less stringent mounting requirements than the radio.
However, like the radio, the control head must be mounted to a mechanically-rigid surface. The control
head must not vibrate when the vehicle is in motion and it must remain stable during normal operations
by an operator (i.e., button presses, knob rotation, excessive tugs on the mic cord, etc.). If the control
head is mounted to a plastic dash panel, either fender washers or a field-fabricated metal backing plate
should be utilized to mount the head’s bracket to the plastic dash panel.

For the CH-100 control head (not shown in this figure), use Pedestal
Mounting Kit 12099-1501-01 (not shown) to attach the pedestal to the head.
For a “hanging” control head
installation, the pedestal can
be attached to the top of the
head via threaded holes in
the top of the head’s case.

pedestal attached to the
