2.2 Selecting the Mounting Position

Requirements for Safe and Convenient

Installation

Make sure the mounting position complies with the requirements of the

following safety warnings:

Warning!! Safe radio mounting

■ Mount the radio securely so that it will not break loose in the event of a

collision. An unsecured radio is dangerous to the vehicle occupants.

■ Mount the radio and the microphone where they will not interfere with

the vehicle operator controls.

■ Mount the radio and the microphone where they will not interfere with

the vehicle operator’s view.

■ Mount the radio and the microphone where they will not interfere with

air bag deployment.

Gap between Radio Body

and Mounting Surface

Note It may be required to mount the radio upside down in order to

maintain a gap of more than 3/8 inch (10 mm) between the bottom

surface of the radio body and the mounting surface.

Inspect the vehicle and determine the safest and most convenient position

for mounting the radio. Make sure that there sufficient clearance behind the

radio for the heatsink and cables.

IP54 Protection

Class Considerations

Important The radio is specified to fulfil the requirements of the IP54

protection class. However, the following must be consid-

ered:

The radio must not be mounted in areas, where an accumulation of water

or other liquids can result in the temporary submersion of the radio (e.g.

when using a high-pressure cleaning device).

The IP54 protection class does not apply when:

■ the control head is removed from the radio body

■ the bungs are removed from the auxiliary connector or the aperture for

the external options connector (fitting an auxiliary connector or external

options connector will not restore the IP54 protection class)

■ the microphone grommet is not installed
