Chapter 2: VML750 Installation
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. Improperly installed communication equipment
which causes the air bag to inflate could cause serious injury. If necessary, contact the vehicle
manufacturer for air bag information specific to the vehicle.
WARNING: Verify that no vehicle systems are affected by use of the unit, for example, cruise control,
ABS breaking, traction control, engine management, direction indicators, and lights.
WARNING: Use existing openings through the firewall to avoid drilling. If drilling is a must, verify not
to damage the Vehicle ECMs, fuel lines, brake lines, and/or cable looms.
WARNING: For vehicles equipped with electronic braking systems, see Anti-Skid Braking
Precautions, Motorola publication 68P81109E34.
Modems installed in vehicles fueled by liquefied petroleum gas must conform to the National Fire
Protection Association standard NFPA 58, which applies to vehicles with liquid propane (LP) gas

The NFPA 58 requires the following:
1 The space in which the LP gas container and its fittings are located must be isolated by a seal from
the space containing modem equipment.
2 Removable (outside) filling connections must be used.
3 The container space must be vented to the outside.
CAUTION: Installing the VML750 at the end of the vehicle above the exhaust pipe may cause the
VML750 to overheat.
CAUTION: Check the required mounting locations. It might be necessary to penetrate the firewall to
reach the battery. Before drilling commences, ensure cable clearance on the opposite side of the firewall
and do not install the vehicle Electronic Control Modules (ECMs) on the opposite side of the firewall.
Protect the cable where it passes through the firewall by using a grommet or similar protective
measures.
