1.2.1 Dash Mount Configuration
NOTE: The dash mount configuration is not applicable for 100W radios.
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.

For details on this configuration, see
Section 2.2.1 on page 2-9.
1.2.2 Remote Mount Configuration
In the remote control version, the transceiver and the control head are mounted separately in the
vehicle. The control head is mounted in a remote trunnion near the operator. The transceiver is
mounted by means of a trunnion or other mounting hardware. If the transceiver is located in a car
trunk, be sure that secure mounting and sufficient cooling are provided. Do not cover the transceiver
with baggage, blankets, etc.
