Speaker Location
When possible, mount the console on the floor near the center of the
vehicle within easy reach of the operator.
When possible, mount the microphone bracket on the dash near the
operator side of the console. The location should be within easy reach
of the operator, and it should be convenient to remove and hang-up
the microphone in its mounting bracket without interfering with any
of the vehicle controls.
!
Do not attach the microphone bracket to the console
housing.

The hands-free visor microphone is designed to clip onto the vehicle's
sun visor.
Complete antenna installation instructions are supplied with each
antenna kit. Refer to those instructions for information pertaining to
the antenna.
Determine the best cable route from the rear of the console to the
vehicle battery through the engine compartment firewall. The best
route should include the shortest path to the battery terminals, yet
provide the cable with protection from engine heat. Cut off any excess
cable. Be sure to use the supplied grommet or similar protective
measure wherever a cable must pass through a hole in a metal panel,
such as a firewall. Route the power cables in a way that protects them
from being pinched, chafed, or crushed. Cable fuses must be retained
and located as close to the battery as practical to protect against cable
or equipment shorts. Secure the cable along its length through the
engine compartment to prevent displacement during vehicle
operation and service.
Select a location for the speaker that will be neither dangerous to the
operator nor damaging to the speaker. A trunnion bracket is provided
for mounting the speaker. The speaker is normally hung under the
dash near the right side of the console; however, the trunnion bracket
permits mounting the speaker against a wall or other vertical surface,
if desired.
A location close to the operator, such as a on a door pillar, will
minimize XTVA volume adjustments that might otherwise be needed
when ambient noise conditions worsen (such as when a siren is used).
This location is also favorable during low-volume security patrol, since
message traffic does not pre-announce the XTVA operator.
The speaker can be removed from its mounting bracket by the
operator and hung from a window, allowing it to be heard outside the
vehicle. For installations where this external operation is desirable,
adequate service length of speaker cable must be available. Also,
provide an area, on the mounting bracket or some other location, for
wrapping this service length.
