TWO-WAY RADIO MOUNTING
The installation of the two-way radio consists of:
•
Mounting the base mounting plate to the motorcycle,
•
Installing the radio mounting bracket in the weatherproof case,
•
Installing the radio on the mounting bracket, and
•
Connecting the power/control cable, cable ground lead, and
antenna lead once they have been installed.
•
Modifying the RANGR radio for motorcycle installation, if
required.
POWER CONSIDERATIONS
The motorcycle may be equipped with additional lights, light flashers,
sirens, PA systems, etc. Therefore, consideration must be given to the
system current drain. It is recommended that the radios be set for the
applicable power output and current drain shown in Table 1 for all
RANGR motorcycle applications.
Do NOT use a high-powered radio in the motorcycle
application. To do so will result in damage to the
motorcycle alternator, battery, and all circuits.
MOUNTING THE RADIO
To install the radio in the weatherproof case:
Assembling the Weatherproof Box
1. Unpack the weatherproof motorcycle box, remove the key from the bag
attached to the bottom and open the box.
2.
Remove the
mounting plate (19D903778P1) from the box by removing the
four 10-32 X 5/8" screws. The bottom mounting plate is the
smaller of the two. This will be installed in subsequent steps.
