Installation Guidelines
Your installation decisions should take into account safety and security first, followed by
reliability and accessibility. Here are a few important rules and guidelines.
Safety
• Use eye protection when using a drill or performing work that poses any hazard to the
eyes.
• Use ear protection in a noisy working area.
• Wear appropriate clothing or uniforms (not too loose; no jewelry). Safety shoes (steel-
tipped toes and shanks) are recommended.
• Make sure you know beforehand exactly what is behind the area you are about to drill. Is it
electrical wires, condenser coils, or heavy gauge steel framing?
• Use hood safety lanyards when the truck hood is open.
• Make sure ladders are in good repair.
• Do not place ladders in awkward or unsafe positions.
Security
• Never install equipment in a manner that will cause damage to the truck or work loose over
time.
• Make sure there are no loose components or cables and there are no unsecured
components in the cab or outside of the truck.
• Use solid mounting surfaces.
• Do not modify or design your own mounts without first obtaining QUALCOMM approval
(applies domestically only).
Note
Use only QUALCOMM -designated mounts for equipment installed in the United States.
