Installation of your Radio Installation Planning To ensure trouble-free, efficient installation, inspect the vehicle and determine how and where the antenna, radio and accessories are to be mounted. It is possible to remote-mount the T2020II, T2040II and T2050II models as these have alphanumeric keypads, with the control head separate from the radio chassis. This enables the radio to be mounted in a discrete location, e.g.
2 Disassemble the cradle by placing it on a firm surface and applying pressure down on one of the middle ribs of the plastic side moulding with a screwdriver. This will release the ribs along this edge from the slots in the metal cover with which they mate. A similar approach will release the other edge of the metal cover which can now be lifted clear (as shown below).
2 Take the remaining metal cover and fit it over the exposed edges of the side mouldings, again taking care to align the ribs with the slots. Clip it securely home. Figure 3: Cradle Reassembly Antenna Installation To comply with FCC RF exposure limits, this product must be installed using either a 2.15dBi or 5.15dBi gain antenna. 1 Terminate one end of the coaxial cable at the antenna. Good quality 50 ohm coaxial cables such as RG58 or UR76 are suitable.
- Crimp the male pin onto the centre conductor. - Press the assembly firmly into the rear of the plug. (Check that no braid gets trapped between the dielectric and the inside of the plug.) - Slide the crimp sleeve over the braid and press against the shoulder of the plug. - Crimp the crimp sleeve onto the braid and plug body.
Power Cable 1 Disconnect the vehicle’s battery unless specifically prohibited from doing so by the customer, vehicle manufacturer, agent or supplier. In this event, exercise extreme caution throughout the installation and fit the fuses only when the installation is complete. Caution: Always disconnect the radio’s power lead before connecting a second battery or using power from another vehicle (e.g. when “jump-starting” the vehicle). 2 Determine where the battery leads will be routed.
Remote Control Head Option The control head of some T2000II models may be supplied ready for mounting remotely from the radio chassis. In this case the control head should be located away from direct sunlight, and the cable connecting it to the radio should be routed away from the antenna with care taken to ensure that the cable will not be subject to damage.
Installation Checks 1 Plug the microphone into the socket on the lower left-hand corner of the radio’s front panel. Push the cable grommet into the rectangular aperture in the panel. 2 Insert the fuses into the power lead. 3 Switch on the radio and confirm that it is operational. 4 Connect an in-line power meter between the radio and the antenna and measure the forward and reflected power levels. Less than 1W should be reflected for 25W forward power.
