Antenna Installation 9
4. Mounting restrictions for certain radio models
For 40 Watt UHF models, the 1/4 wave antenna
should be mounted only in the center area of
the roof, not on the trunk lid, to assure compliance with RF Energy Safety standards.
5. Ensure that the antenna cable can be easily routed to the radio. Route the antenna cable as far
away as possible from any vehicle electronic control units and associated wiring.
6. Check the antenna location for any electrical interference.
7. Make sure any other mobile radio antenna on this vehicle is at least 30.48cm (1 foot) away from
this antenna.
4.3 Antenna Installation Procedure
1. Mount the antenna according to the instructions provided with the antenna kit. Run the coaxial
cable to the radio mounting location. If necessary, cut off the excess cable and install the cable
connector.
2. Connect the antenna cable connector to the radio antenna connector on the rear of the radio.
(See Figure 4-1.)
4.4 Completing the Installation
1. Mount the microphone clip to a convenient spot near your radio.
2. Your microphone has a telephone-type connector at the end of its cord. Plug the microphone into
the control head connector.
3. To complete your radio installation, plug the power cable into the radio power connector. (See
Figure 4-1.)
NOTE
Any two metal pieces rubbing against each other (such as seat springs, shift levers,
trunk and hood lids, exhaust pipes, etc.) in close proximity to the antenna can cause
severe receiver interference.
