This radio has been tested and complies with the FCC RF exposure limits for “Occupational Use Only.” In addition, your M/A-COM radio complies with the following Standards and Guidelines with regard to RF energy and electromagnetic energy levels and evaluation of such levels for exposure to humans: •...
“TX” LED in the radio display is lit. You can cause the radio to transmit by pressing the PTT button on the microphone. • ALWAYS M/A-COM authorized accessories (antennas, speaker/mics, etc.). Use of unauthorized accessories may cause the FCC Occupational/Controlled Exposure RF compliance to be exceeded.
present when transmitting. If the vehicle contains such equipment, consult the dealer and enlist their aid in determining the expected performance of electronic circuits when the radio is transmitting. • Dynamite Blasting Caps – Dynamite blasting caps may explode by operating a radio within 500 feet of the blasting caps.
To simplify installation and minimize difficulties, it is suggested that the installer read the entire manual prior to installation. Figure 1 shows a typical motorcycle installation. M/A-COM Private Radio Systems, Inc. does not assume liability for possible degradation of the radio or motorcycle performance due to mounting procedures.
OPTIONS AND ACCESSORIES All available options and accessories applicable to factory installed motorcycle installations are defined below. NOTE: These options do not include a J 725M radio or J 725M control unit. The J AGUAR AGUAR AGUAR 725M mobile radio and control unit must be ordered separately, then factory modified to adapt it for motorcycle applications.
HARDWARE KITS A typical Motorcycle Kit is shown in Figure 2. Hardware Kits 350A1396G1-G4 are shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4. Hardware kit 350A1396G1 is used to factory install the radio mounting bracket and alternator whine reject filter to the weather-resistant case. Hardware kits 350A1396G2-G4 are used by the customer in the field to mount the case and control head to the motorcycle and to optionally use the Harley- Davidson adapter bracket.
USER SUPPLIED EQUIPMENT • Motorcycle Radio Mounting Bracket POWER CONSIDERATIONS The motorcycle may be equipped with additional lights, light flashers, sirens, PA systems, etc. Therefore, consideration must be given to the total system current drain. It is recommended that the radios be set to not exceed the applicable rated RF power output and current drain shown in Table 1 for all J 725M motorcycle applications.

INSTALLATION Installation of the J 725M mobile radio and control unit consists of: AGUAR • Assembling and installing the weather resistant motorcycle case assembly, including the adapter bracket, case/antenna mounting bracket, and bottom case (previously assembled) to the motorcycle mounting bracket (user supplied). •...
Harley-Davidson Installation Unpack the weather resistant motorcycle case, remove the key taped to the top cover and open the case. Refer to Figure 5 and verify all components shown in the diagram are available. Mount the adapter bracket on to the Dyna or Road King radio mounting bracket (user supplied) using the 1/4-20 x 5/8 screws provided.

CONTROL UNIT MOUNTING Mount the control unit within convenient reach of the operator, and where it will not interfere with the safe operation of the motorcycle. Figure 8 shows a typical installation of the control unit and microphone. Note also, the location of the option switch for the Headset Option.
A special spacer may be required between the control unit bracket and the motorcycle to raise the level of the control unit bracket. This spacer, if needed, must be constructed NO TE locally. Mount the control unit and mic hanger to the mounting bracket. After installing the control unit, do not make any cable connections until all cables have been run and secured.

Figure 10 - Typical Speaker Mounting CABLE ROUTING Power and Control Cables Cable routing consists of planning and routing the cable runs between the radio, control unit, and battery. The cables should be routed away from exhaust pipes, mufflers, and moving parts, or where mechanical damage may result.
Typical Harley-Davidson Installation Disconnect gas line from tank and drain gas into an approved container. Remove cowling, gas tank, and fairing, if required, to gain access to the triangular frame assembly, beneath the gas tank, to permit cable routing. Push saddle support springs forward to release the saddle and tilt it forward to gain access to the area beneath the saddle.
Page 28
Re-examine cable routing and be sure that all cables are neatly routed and secured with cable ties. Install a cable clamp on saddle mounting bracket (left side) and secure the power and control cables from the radio case assembly. Route speaker leads from the control cable underneath the handlebar to the rear of the instrument panel assembly in the vicinity of the speaker.

Figure 13 - Control Unit Connections For Motorcycle Models Equipped with Gas Tank Fairing The cable may be routed from the saddle area, under the fairing, around the left side of the gas tank filler pipe, and up to the area of the control unit. The fairing may have to be notched to provide entrance and exit space.
It may be necessary to notch a portion of the fairing at the control unit end and at the saddle area to provide entrance and exit holes for the cable. The entrance and exit cutaway NO TE holes are required to permit the fairing to be remounted flush to the gas tank.
VGE/DES keyloader, and other options (i.e., data terminal, external encoder/decoder, etc). Refer to “HEADSET INSTALLATION (OPTION).” ANTENNA INSTALLATION General The M/A-COM J 725M motorcycle options for the 800 MHz land AGUAR mobile radio band are specifically designed for use with the Allen Telecom, Inc.

that provides the proper VSWR and radiation pattern without the use of a ground plane. Typical antenna gain without a ground plane is 0 dB. The case/antenna mounting plate (188D6437P1) was specifically designed to fit the hole mounting pattern for the 19B209568P5 mount. Since the Allen Telecom, Inc.
¼λ in = 2805 = 3.43 inches 818.5 ½λ wavelength (in inches)= 6.85 inches The cable length should be 3.43 + n x 6.85 inches. Since the installer will need a length of the coax from the antenna to the radio to be at least 22 inches long to physically connect the antenna to the radio, he must calculate a length of coax that will meet the odd quarter-wavelength requirement and be greater than 22 inches.
FINAL CHECKS AND CONNECTIONS After the weather resistant case is installed, all cables run, and the radio, control unit, speaker, and microphone installed, refer to the interconnection diagrams and verify that all connections have been made and the equipment is properly grounded. Make a final check of all cables to make sure they are properly connected and dressed away from all moving parts and exhaust pipes, and secured with cable ties.
The long end of the accessory cable 19B802554P24 which contains the 25 pin D-subminiature receptacle connector is to also be routed along the bike and any excess is to be coiled up and left under the seat. The driver takes the belt box SM-C70GM and attaches it to his belt. The helmet kit quick disconnect plug is mated to the belt box quick disconnect connector.
