• Select a location that permits routing the RF antenna cable as directly as possible.
• If you are mounting the MW810 Mobile Workstation on a plastic dashboard, you must first
reinforce the dashboard; otherwise the weight of the display may crack or break the
dashboard.
• Do not mount the CPU Box on a flat or concave surface where the unit could become
partially submersed in water.
Air Bag Considerations
When planning the installation of communication equipment in a vehicle with one or more
air bags, proceed as follows:
• Installation of vehicle equipment should be performed by a professional installer/
technician qualified in the requirements for such installations. An air bag's size, shape and
deployment area can vary depending on vehicle make, model and front compartment
configuration (e.g., bench seat vs. bucket seats).
• Contact the vehicle manufacturer's corporate headquarters, if necessary, for specific air
bag information for the vehicle make, model and front compartment configuration
involved in your equipment installation.
Provided for your reference are several air bag deployment zone templates from automobiles
used in public safety roles (Figure 1, Figure 2 and Figure 3).

Caution
Vehicles equipped with air bags:
An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including
communication equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air bag
deployment area. If the communication equipment is improperly installed and the
air bag inflates, this could cause serious injury.
