Install the MP modem

Step 1—Mount the MP modem
If you are using the MP modem in a vehicle, it is usually mounted in the trunk, but
other possibilities are under the dashboard or a seat.

Select a location for the MP modem

When selecting a mounting location, remember the following:
Do not expose the MP modem to weather and environmental conditions
beyond the ranges listed in the environmental specifications. Avoid excessive
heat from the engine compartment, heaters, or the exhaust system, and
extreme cold from direct contact with air conditioners or other cooling
systems. Never immerse it in any liquid.
If you are replacing an MP modem, you can mount the new MP modem in the
same location using the existing mounting holes.
Every device connected to the MP modem, as well as the MP modem itself,
should be grounded. (See
the power harness
Route cables to their destinations without using excess wiring.
Make sure all connectors and the reset button are easy to reach and the
indicator lights are visible.

Mounting the MP modem

To mount the MP modem:
1. Use the provided mounting template to mark the location of the mounting
holes.
2. Drill 5/32" pilot holes (unless you are reusing holes from a previous MP
modem mounting).
