NOTE: The empty parentheses at the end of
the kit numbers and part numbers
mentioned throughout this document
stand for the alphabetical character (A,
B, etc.) that denotes the revision level
of the kit or part. The revision level of
the kits and/or parts may change from
time to time without affecting the
validity of these retrofit instructions.
This document describes and provides user instructions for Motorola
retrofit kit numbers H1634( ) and H1635( ).
Purpose of Retrofit
Kits
The purpose of the retrofit kits is to enable conversion of an MCS 2000
radio that is in the dash/local mounting configuration to the remote
mounting configuration.
The difference between the two kits is the particular radio models to
which each applies.
In the dash/local mounting configuration, the control head of the
radio is attached directly to the radio body and the radio is situated in
thevehiclesothatitscontrolsandindicatorsareaccessibletotheradio
user.
In the remote mounting configuration, the control head of the radio
ismounted where itscontrols and indicatorsare accessible tothe radio
user.However, the radiobody is mountedin the trunkor other remote
location in the vehicle.

There are two situations where these retrofit kits are used. The first is
where the radio body remains where it is presently located (e.g., under
the front seat or on the transmission hump) and just the control head
is moved to a different location (e.g., under the dashboard). The other
situationis where both the radio body and the control headare moved
to different locations.
