2.2.3.3 To Remove the radio from the frame
1. Push the two demounting tools through the openings in the frame until the two springs
release the radio.
2. Slide out the radio.
NOTE: The fixing tabs should be checked for tightness each time the radio is removed. The tabs are
easily tightened by twisting a large flat-head screwdriver in the slot behind the tabs.
NOTE: The frame is not designed for regular mounting and demounting.
2.2.4 Remote Mount with Trunnion
For a remote mount installation, the transceiver may be mounted anywhere in the vehicle, provided
that the installation location is safe, follows the cautions mentioned at the beginning of this section,
and is accessible for servicing/maintenance as well as cabling. A typical mounting location
recommended by Motorola is the vehicle’s trunk. The trunnion provided may still be used to mount
the transceiver, and the mounting process is the same as for the dash mount installation.
See publication 6878397A01 for the MOTOTRBO XPR 4000/XPR 4000e Series mobile radio remote
mount control head installation instructions.
2.3 Power Cable
Route the red radio power cable from the radio to the vehicle’s battery compartment, using accepted
industry methods and standards. Be sure to grommet the firewall hole to protect the cable. Remove
the 15-Amp (part number 6580283E06) or 20-Amp (part number 6580283E07) fuse from the
fuseholder and connect the red lead of the radio power cable to the positive battery terminal using
the hardware provided as shown in Figure 2-12. Connect the black lead to a convenient solid
chassis ground point. DO NOT connect the black lead directly to the battery’s negative terminal.
Before installing any electrical equipment, check the vehicle manufacturer’s user
manual.
The installation of this device should be completed by an authorized servicer or
installer.
Before making any holes in the trunk for radio mounting, check the vehicle
manufacturer’s user manual for restrictions (e.g. due to the gas tank location).
