•Air bags inflate with great force. Therefore, do not mount this transceiver in the deployment area of an air bag. In addition, do not place other objects in the deployment area or other locations where they could unintentionally move into the deployment area.

2.2.2 INSTALLING MOUNTING BRACKET

Check the area behind the intended mounting location for wiring, brake and gas lines, or other com- ponents that could be damaged when the mounting screws are installed. Then install the bracket and trans- ceiver as shown in Figure 2-2. Both standard and self- tapping screws are included for installing the bracket.

2.2.3 INSTALLING MICROPHONE HANGER

Install the included microphone hanger in a con- venient location. For proper operation of functions such as monitoring and scanning, the hanger may need to be connected to chassis ground. If required, ground the hanger using the included grounding wire.

2.3 POWER CABLE INSTALLATION

2.3.1 GENERAL

It is recommended that both wires of the power cable be connected directly to the vehicle battery. Con- nection of either wire to other points may result in increased interference from the vehicle’s electrical system. If noise is still a problem, try installing a noise filter.

2.3.2 CABLE INSTALLATION

1.Before starting power cable installation, it is good practice to remove the negative cable from the bat- tery to prevent damage from accidental short circuits.
