Microphone mounting

The microphone supplied with the T7000 is of the directional type. When considering a mounting
location, keep in mind that the microphone must be pointed in the direction of the person using
the microphone to insure the voice is heard and other vehicle noise is blocked out.

Choosing a mounting location

The microphone should generally mounted in front of the driver. Two excellent locations are near
the sun visor on the headliner and on top of the dash in front of the driver. Use an appropriate
mounting method to hold the microphone in place. Velcro works well for many applications. There
may be other mounting locations that would work well in various vehicles. In any case, choose a
location that allows the microphone to be directed at the person speaking.

Microphone Cable Routing

The microphone cable can be routed under the trim or inside the headliner of the cab in almost all
cases. Run the cable over to a side post and down underneath the trim.

TPMS antenna mounting

The TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) that is optional with the T7000, requires the
installation of an antenna underneath the truck.

Selecting a Mounting Location

The TPMS antenna should be mounted approximately midway between the front and rear axles.
A frame crossmember makes a suitable location. Use an existing hole if possible or drill a hole for
the antenna mount. Insure that there is sufficient space for the antenna whip at the selected
location.

Mounting the TPMS Antenna

There are two requirements for antenna mounting:
The antenna must point toward the rear of the truck
The antenna mounting boss must be well grounded to the mounting location. Paint
should be removed from the mounting hole so that the antenna mounting boss contacts
bare metal.
To mount the antenna, drill or utilize an existing ½" (13mm) hole. Remove any coating or paint
from the metal around the mounting hole. An auxiliary bracket may be used if a hole in the
crossmember is not possible. Refer to the pictures below for possible mounting locations and
methods.
