Hands‐freeInstallation
Beforebeginningtheinstallationprocess,determinethebestlocationsfor
themountingoftheMountingBracket,Hand‐freeCradle,Push‐To‐Talk
(PTT)button,VisorMicrophone,SpeakerandJunctionBox.

Considerthefollowingguidelinewhenplanningtheinstallation:
DOuseallmountinghardwareprovided.
DOensurethatcablesarenotplacedunderstress.
DOfollowproper+and‐connections.
DOcrimpconnectorssecurely.

!WARNING
VEHICLESEQUIPPEDWITHAIRBAGS
Anairbaginflateswithgreatforce.DONOTplaceobjects,including
communications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.

Itisrecommendedthattheinstallationofthevehiclecommunication
equipmentbeperformedbyaprofessionalinstaller/techniciantrainedin
therequirementsforsuchinstallations.Anairbag'ssize,shapeand
deploymentareacanvarybyvehiclemake,model,andfrontcompartment
configuration(forexample,benchseatvs.bucketseats).Contactthe


D.InstallingthePowerCable
Caution!TheCarkitshouldbeusedwithanegativegroundelectrical
systemonly.Reversepolarity(positiveground)willtriggerprotection
circuitswhichcausethecablefusetoopen.Checkthegroundpolarity
beforeyoubegintheinstallationtopreventwastedtimeandeffort.12V
DCor24VDCautomotivesystemsaredirectlysupported.Determinethe
bestcableroutetothevehicleignitionforthePowerCablefromthe
locationwhereyouintendtomounttheJunctionBox.


Note!Anignitionswitchaccessoryterminalcanbeverifiedbymeasuring
theterminalwhileoperatingthevehicle’skeyswitch.Withtheignition
keyinthe“accessoryON”position,theterminalvoltageshouldmeasure
