INSTALLATION
Installation Planning
Planning is the key to fast, easy installation. Before a hole is drilled or a
wire is run, inspect the vehicle and determine how and where you intend
to mount the junction box, phone cradle, speaker, visor microphone,
remote PTT button, remote palm microphone (optional), and speaker
(see Figure 1). Plan wire and cable runs to provide maximum protection
from pinching, crushing and overheating.
Figure 1. Car Kit Interconnection Diagram
A properly installed Car Kit will minimize service calls and equipment
downtime. Refer to the following guidelines when planning the installa-
tion:
• Use the provided hardware for mounting.
• Ensure that the cables are not stretched, and not subjected to heat
from engine or transmission.
• Crimp connectors securely.
• Do not attach components to any part of the vehicle that is not rigid
or is subject to excessive vibration.
• Do not run cables over sharp edges that could cause wear or
chaffing of cable insulation.

• Do not install the components in locations where they might cause
interference to the operation of the vehicle controls.
• If it is necessary to penetrate the firewall, check opposite side for
cable clearance before drilling and use a grommet to protect the
cable where it passes through.
Recommended Tools
The following tools are recommended for proper installation of your Car
Kit.
• Portable Drill
•Hammer
• Center Punch
• Phillips #2 Screwdriver
Junction Box Installation
In most vehicles, the best location for mounting the junction box is just
under the dash, or under the front seat. It must be protected from dirt and
moisture, and must be afforded adequate space for cooling. There must
also be sufficient space to allow for the connection of accessories.

6 CAR KIT OWNER’S MANUAL
DC Power Cable Installation
The Car Kit must be operated only in negative ground electrical systems.
Reverse polarity (positive ground) will trigger protection circuits which
cause the cable fuse to open. Check the groundpolarity before you begin
installation to prevent wasted time and effort. Only 12V DC automotive
systems are directly supported. For 24V DC operation, external con-
verter (NNTN4079) is required.
The DC power cable shipped with the Car Kit is long enough for instal-
lation in most vehicles. Begin the power cable installation in the follow-
ing manner.
1. Route the red and black leads of the main power cable to convenient
chassis ground and positive supply voltage connection points. Ifit is
necessary to penetrate the firewall, use an existing opening or, if
necessary, drill a new hole of approximately 9/16 inch or 3.5 cm.
Insert a grommet into the hole to prevent damage to the power
cable. When making connections on the engine side of the firewall,
additional in-line fuse holders (included) should be used at the con-
nection points.
2. Cut the black lead to the desired length.
• If the connection is to be made under the dash or in the vehicle
cabin, connect the black lead directly to the chassis of the vehicle.
• If connection is made in the engine compartment, connect the black
in-line fuse holder between the black lead of the power cable and
the desired chassis connection point.
3. Cut the red lead to the desired length. This lead will be connected
such that it has positive supply voltage at all times, even when the
vehicle is turned off.
• If connection is to be made under the dash or in the vehicle cabin,
connect the red lead to a positive supply voltage point.
• If connection is to be made in the engine compartment or directly to
the battery, connect the red in-line fuse holder between the red lead
of the power cable and the desired positive voltage connection
point.
It is not good practice to connect the black lead to the
negative (-) battery terminal; the Car Kit could be
damaged if there were a malfunction in the vehicle’s
electrical system.

CAR KIT OWNER’S MANUAL 9
Antenna Installation
The best location for mounting the antenna is the center of a large, flat,
conductive surface. In almost all vehicles, these requirements are best
satisfied by mounting the antenna at the center of the roof. Some vehi-
cles have a large trunk lid that also provides a good antenna location. If
the trunk lid is used, connect grounding straps between the trunk lid and
the vehicles chassis to ensure the trunk lid is adequately grounded.
For best performance, use a low-loss coaxial cable with the highest gain
antenna.
The three Motorola tested and approved antennas that may be used with
this Car Kit are:
1. RAF4136AMM - Magnetic Antenna
2. RRA4914B - Mobile Roof Mount Antenna
3. FAD5524 - Mobile Window Antenna
Use only an approved antenna and refer to the installation instructions of
the antenna you have selected.
External Speaker Installation
A common location for mounting the speaker is on the firewall, beneath the
dashboard, on the passenger’s side of the vehicle. Hanger and trunnion
brackets are provided for mounting the speaker.
1. It is recommended that the speaker be located 3ft (1m) from the
visor microphone. Avoid placing the speaker where it faces the
visor microphone.
2. Place the speaker and speaker cable at least 1 foot (30 cm) away
from any part of the portable phone’s antenna.
Antennas with gain exceeding 9db do not comply
with FCC RF exposures and are not allowed for use
with this product
