5-2 Motorcycle Radio Installation Motorcycle Radio Description
5.1.4 Microphone
A weather-resistant, palm microphone and coiled cord plug into a pigtail connector on the control
cable. The microphone attaches to a hang-up bracket located within easy reach of the motorcycle
rider. The coiled cord is long enough to be operated by someone standing next to the motorcycle, yet
short enough to not interfere with the motorcycle’s steering or operation.
5.1.5 External Speaker
A 3.2-ohm, 10-watt-rated-audio-power, external speaker is mounted on the front of the motorcycle.
The speaker cable is routed along the motorcycle frame to the transceiver’s rear accessory
connector. A sealed, weather-resistant, speaker-muting (toggle) switch is mounted on top of the
speaker.
The external speaker connects to the rear accessory connector of the transceiver.
5.1.6 Headset Capability
The motorcycle radio is compatible with various headset accessories that provide hands-free
operation of the radio. Motorola does not manufacture headset equipment, but provides the
interconnection for headset equipment with the motorcycle radio. Aftermarket headset equipment is
available through Motorola (see Appendix A: Replacement Parts Ordering).
5.1.7 Antenna
The antenna(s) are mounted on top of the transceiver’s weather-resistant enclosure.
The enclosure’s metal lining acts as the antenna’s ground plane.
5.1.8 Ignition Sense (ACC) Wire
The ignition sense wire connects to the motorcycle’s fuse box and is routed along the motorcycle
frame to the transceiver’s rear accessory connector.
The radio is wired so that transmission is inhibited if the motorcycle’s ignition sense switch is off.
If the PTT switch is pressed with the ignition sense off, a low-frequency tone sounds. The receiver is
controlled by the control head on/off switch.
To avoid loud audio, refer to the CPS help menu for audio settings if the Motorola
mobile radio is used with any motorcycle helmet headset.
