Control Head Mounting Position
The control head is designed to be removed from the housing and turned to any position within a
180° radius. This provides multiple mounting options for the radio. For example, the radio may be
mounted on either side of the vehicle transmission tunnel to facilitate the safest and most
ergonomically ideal position. The control head may then be turned to provide the most convenient
access.
To reposition the control head:
1.
Insert a small flat blade screwdriver, or similar instrument, in the recess between the control
head and the radio housing.
2.
Press until the control head releases. Repeat the process on the opposite side of the radio.
3.
Pull the control head away while ensuring that the flex connector remains attached.
4.
Rotate the control head, and fold the flex circuit to align it to the new position.
5.
Push the control head into the housing until the protruding tabs snap into place.
CAUTION: The contact surface of the flex circuit should be facing the printed circuit board.

Mobile Radio Operation and EME Exposure
Observe the following caution and electromagnetic energy exposure (EME) statements when
installing antennas:
CAUTION: Use caution when installing antennas with mobile radio equipment using
!
transmitter power in excess of 7 Watts.
NOTE For low-power mobile radios (7 Watts, or less), there are no antenna type or
installation restrictions.
To assure optimal radio performance and that human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic
energy is within the guidelines referenced in this document, transmit only when people inside and
outside the vehicle are at least the minimum distance away from a properly installed,
externally-mounted antenna.
