Chapter 1 Introduction
This manual covers the installation procedures for ASTRO XTL 5000 mobile and motorcycle radios
and accessories required to complete the radio system. The radio system consists of a control head,
radio, antenna, microphone, speaker, cabling, and accessories.
1.1 Mobile Radio Description
1.1.1 Dimensions
Figure 1-2 and Figure 1-1 show the basic dimensions of a dash mount XTL 5000 radio. The
transceiver portion of a remote mount XTL 5000 is sized similarly.
When installing the radio, make sure to plan the installation carefully and leave additional room in the
rear of the radio for cabling and accessory connections; in the front of the radio for access, controls,
and cabling (if remote mount); and to the sides of the radio so that you may access and install the
trunnion wing screws.
NOTE: The rear accessory connector adds 0.75 in. to the overall length.
1.2 Standard Configurations
1.2.1 Dash Mount Configuration
In the dash mounting version of the XTL 5000, the control head is mounted on the front of the
transceiver housing. Electrical connection between the two takes place within the radio via a flexible
circuit board between the connectors on the front of the transceiver and at the back of the control
head.
