INSTALLATION

1. WHERE AND HOW TO MOUNT YOUR RADIO
a) You should choose the most appropriate setting from a simple and
practical point of view.
b) Your radio should not interfere with the driver or the passengers.
c) Remember to provide different wires for passing and protection. (e.g.:
power, antenna, accessory cabling) so that they do not in any way
interfere with the driving of vehicles.
d) To install your equipment, use the cradle (1) and the self-tapping screws
[2] provided (drilling diameter 5 mm). Take care not to damage the
vehicle's electrical system while drilling the dash board.
e) Do not forget to insert the rubber joints [3] between the radio and its
support as these have a shock-absorbing effect which permits gentle
orientation and tightening of the set.
f) Choose where to place the microphone support and remember that the
microphone cord must stretch to the driver without interfering with the
controls of the vehicle.

2. ANTENNA INSTALLATION
a) Choosing your antenna:
For radios, the longer the antenna, the better its results. Your dealer will
help you with your choice of antenna.
b) Mobile antenna:
- Must be fixed to the vehicle where there is a maximum of metallic
surface(ground plane) , away from windscreen mountings.
- There are two types of antenna: Pre-Regulated Antenna which should
be used on a good ground plane (e.g. car roof or lid of the boot), and
Adjustable Antenna which offer a much larger frequency range and can
be used on a smaller ground plane.
For an antenna which must be fixed by drilling, you will need a good
contact between the antenna and the ground plane. To obtain this, you
should lightly scratch the surface where the screw and tightening star
are to be placed.
- Be careful not to pinch or flatten the coaxial cable (as this runs the risk
of break down and/or short circuiting).
- Connect the antenna to location.
c) Fixed antenna:
A fixed antenna should be installed in a space as clear as possible. If it
is fixed to a mast, it will perhaps be necessary to stay it, according to the
laws in force (you should seek professional advice). All HR-5500
antennas and accessories are designed to give maximum efficiency to
each radio within the range.
