Installation Instructions

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 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 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 headset accessories that would provide hands-free operation
of the radio.
Motorola Solutions does not manufacture headset equipment, but provides the interconnection for
headset equipment with the motorcycle radio. Aftermarket headset equipment is available through
Motorola Solutions (see Replacement Parts Ordering on page 132).
CAUTION: To avoid loud audio, refer to the CPS help menu for audio settings if the Motorola
Solutions mobile radio is used with any motorcycle helmet headset.
5.1.7
Antenna
The antennas are mounted on top of the transceiver weather-resistant enclosure.
The enclosure metal lining acts as the antenna ground plane.
5.1.8
Ignition Sense (ACC) Wire
The ignition sense wire connects to the motorcycle fuse box and is routed along the motorcycle frame
to the transceiver rear accessory connector.
The radio is wired so that transmission is inhibited if the motorcycle 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.

Installation Overview
All mobile radios are tested and inspected before shipment. It is suggested that the transmitter
frequency, deviation, and power output be checked at the time of installation.
It is the license holder's responsibility to ensure that the operating parameters of his station comply
with applicable laws governing radio communications equipment. For tests and alignment procedures,
refer to the appropriate service manual (refer to Related Publications on page 15).
Generally, the installation of the motorcycle radio takes place in the following parts:
