Installation instructions for RRP660 ntercom and mobile radios

Step #1: Location for intercom and radio

Find a good location to mount intercom and mobile radio. If possible mount mobile radio

no more than 3 feet from intercom. Standard mobile radio to intercom interface cables are

3 ft. long. Extensions are available when mounting requires more than 3 feet apart. PN#

CS-RADIO-EXT

Note: Be sure to mount away from ignition boxes to avoid RF interference.

Mount intercom with L bracket mounts. Be sure to allow enough room behind the

intercom for the cables to be connected. The unique RRP600 mounting design allows you

to easily slide intercom out of the mounting brackets for plugging in cables and adjusting

radio transmit levels.

Mount mobile radio with the U bracket mounting supplied by manufacturer.

Route the headset cables from the intercom to each seat. Be sure

to run cables in a location where there is not excessive heat or

they may get damaged. Always route cables away from ignition

boxes or coils as RF interference may occur. After routing

cables plug headset cables into the correct position into the

intercom. Be sure the driver cable is plugged into the driver

position on the intercom. If the co-driver and driver are reversed

the co-drivers mic will turn on when the driver pushes their

push to talk for car to car transmitting. Plug cables into back of

the intercom.
