2 - 2 WiMAX VSM Installation Guide
• Only qualified personnel may install communication equipment.
• Ensure secure tightening of cable connectors.
NOTE Install this product in a vehicle in accordance with the vehicle manufacturer’s guidelines and the instructions detailed in
this manual. Use only the Motorola parts specified in this manual.
Check the required mounting locations. It might be necessary to penetrate the bulkhead to reach the battery.
Before drilling commences, ensure cable clearance on the opposite side of the bulkhead and do not install the
vehicle’s Electronic Control Modules (ECM’s) on the opposite side of the bulkhead. Protect the cable where it
passes through the bulkhead by using a grommet or similar protective measures.
If necessary, contact the vehicle manufacturer for air bag information specific to the vehicle.
CAUTION Installing the VSM at the end of the vehicle above the exhaust pipe may cause the VSM to overheat.
WARNING! VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIR BAGS
An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including communications
equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If the communication
equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, this could cause serious injury.
WARNING! Verify that none of the vehicle’s systems are affected by use of the unit, e.g. cruise control,
ABS breaking, traction control, engine management, direction indicators, lights, etc.
WARNING! Use existing openings through the bulkhead to avoid drilling. If drilling is a must, verify not to
damage the Vehicle Electronic Control Modules (ECM’s), fuel pipes, brake pipes, and/or cable
looms.
WARNING! For vehicles equipped with electronic braking systems, see “ANTI-SKID BRAKING
PRECAUTIONS”, Motorola publication 68P81109E34.
