Installation Instructions

Item Part Number Description Mid Power Radio

6 - Plastic Guides -

3 Using the trunnion mounting bracket as a template, mark the positions of the holes on the

mounting surface. Use the innermost four holes for a curved mounting surface such as the

transmission hump, and the four outermost holes for a flat surface such as under the dash.

4 Center punch the spots you have marked and realign the trunnion in position.

5 Secure the trunnion mounting bracket with the four self-drilling screws provided.

6 Ensure that the plastic guides are aligned (horizontal) to the grooves of the trunnion. Slide the

radio into the grooves until it snaps into place.

7 Secure the radio with the two screws provided (Item 1). The torque down force for 0371859H01

should be between 50 in-lbf to 52 in-lbf.

8 For screw 0305760W04, the wing screw torque tool (HLN6970_) is designed to securely tighten

the trunnion wing screws while installing the radio. The tool can also be used to loosen the wing

screws. Detailed instructions are included in the tool packaging.

2.2.2

Remote Mount with Trunnion

For remote mount installation, the radio may be mounted anywhere in the vehicle, as long as the

installation location is safe, follows the cautions mentioned at the beginning of this section, and is

accessible for servicing/maintenance and cabling. A typical mounting location recommended by

Motorola Solutions is in the trunk of the vehicle. The trunnion provided may still be used to mount the

transceiver, and the mounting process is the same for dash mount installation. See Figure 35: Radio

Installation (O5 Remote Mount) on page 38 or Figure 37: Radio Installation (O7 Remote Mount) on

page 39 for remote installation.

2.2.2.1

Remote Mount Control Head Installation

Choose a mounting location for the radio, considering accessibility, and control and antenna cable

lengths.

The recommended mounting surfaces for the control unit are under the mounting surface, on the

transmission hump, or on the center console. Installing Remote Mount Control Head on page 53

shows how you should install the trunnion, control head, and cables for the O2, O3, O5, E5, O7, or O9

control head.

NOTICE:

Connector-protective covers (Dust Covers) HLN6980_ are provided with the radio.

Install the covers on exposed connectors for added environmental robustness.

An adjustable trunnion, which allows several mounting positions, is supplied to mount the control unit.

The installation must not interfere with the operation of the vehicle or its accessories, nor disturb

passenger seating or leg room. The control head must be within convenient reach and viewing of the

user.

If the trunnion is mounted on a plastic mounting surface, all four mounting screws should penetrate the

supporting metal frame of the mounting surface. If that is not possible, use a metal backing plate (not

supplied) to strengthen the installation.
