Mounting the Scanner in Your Vehicle

Before you mount the scanner, make sure you have all the necessary materials. Then confirm that the scanner fits your vehicle’s mounting area. This unit requires a mounting area of 2-3/8 inch high by 6-15/16 inch wide by 6-9/16 inch deep (61 x 176.5 x 167 mm).

Caution: Be sure to avoid obstructions behind the mounting surface.

Follow these steps to mount the scanner in your vehicle.

1. Choose a mounting location, then use the supplied mounting bracket as a template to mark the positions for the mounting screw holes.

2. In the marked positions, drill holes slightly smaller than the supplied screws.

3. Attach the mounting bracket to the mounting location using the supplied screws and lock washers.

4. Attach the scanner to the mounting bracket using the supplied mounting knobs.

5. Connect the antenna’s cable to the ANT. connector on the back of the scanner.

Note: If the antenna cable’s connector does not fit in the ANT. connector, you might also need a Motorola-to BNC antenna plug adapter (available at a local electronics store).
