Motorcycle Mount Enhanced Control Head Installation

Planning

Planning is the key to fast, easy radio installation. Before a hole is drilled or a wire is run, inspect the
vehicle and determine how and where you intend to mount the antenna, radio, and accessories.
Plan wire and cable runs to provide maximum protection from pinching, crushing, and overheating.
The installation planning should only be undertaken by persons who are competent and able to
ensure that the complete installation fulfils its regulatory requirements, such as EMC
(ElectroMagnetic Compatibility).
The following list of considerations should, as a minimum, be checked during installation planning:
1. The recommended place for the transceiver is to place it in the box at the back of the
motorcycle.
2. Mount the Motorcycle Mount Enhanced Control Head horizontally at a position which enables
the driver to view the controls and operate them easily.
3. Be sure the Motorcycle Mount Enhanced Control Head is close enough to the vehicle
operator to permit easy access to operating controls.
4. It is recommended to mount the Motorcycle Mount Enhanced Control Head directly on the
chassis or handle part.
5. Ensure that the units mounted in the motorcycle box are protected from dirt and moisture.
6. Verify that there is sufficient space around the units to allow air flow and removal.
7. Verify that the cable from a handlebars mounted Motorcycle Mount Enhanced Control Head
and to the radio unit is long enough to allow for the handles to be turned.
8. Verify that the antenna cable is routed in the shortest way to minimize power loss over the
cable.
9. Check that the mounting surfaces are able to support the weight of the units.
