Mounting Trunnion Installation

(35 W & 30 W)
1. Select the location to mount your radio - either
on the transmission hump or under the dash-
board. If the trunnion is to be mounted on the
transmission hump, ensure that the transmis-
sion housing is not affected.
2. Using the trunnion mounting bracket as a
template, mark the positions of the holes on
the mounting surface. Use the five holes for a
curved mounting surface such as the trans-
mission hump.
3. Center punch the spots you have marked and
drill a 5/32" (4 mm) hole at each location.
4. Secure the trunnion mounting bracket to the
surface with the five 10-16x3/4" (20 mm)
screws provided.
5. Place the radio in the mounting trunnion and
secure it with the two M5 thumb screws pro-
vided and one TT5 rear screw.
6. Mount the antenna using the instructions pro-
vided with the antenna kit. Run the coaxial
cable to the radio mounting location. Unless
specified otherwise in the antenna instruc-
tions, cut off the access cable and install the
cable connector.
7. Connect the antenna cable connector to the
radio antenna connector on the rear of the
radio. See Figure 2-4.
8. Mount the microphone clip to a convenient
spot near your radio, and ensure that it is
grounded.
9. Plug the microphone cord into the control
head connector. Refer to Figure 2-3. Your
microphone has a telephone type connector at
the end of its cord. Connect and disconnect
your radio microphone cord in the same man-
ner you connect and disconnect your tele-
phone handset cord.
