About this guide
This user’s guide provides information about TM8105,
TM8110 and TM8115 mobile radios and is divided
into two parts.
■Part 1 explains how the TM8110 and TM8115 radios oper-
ate. The TM8105 radio has a control head without a user
interface, so no TM8105 operating information is needed.
■Part 2 outlines the installation procedure for TM8105,
TM8110 and TM8115 radios, and gives the pin alloca-
tions for the TM8105 programming connector.

This user’s guide also contains important safety information
about using and installing these radios. Refer to page 8 for
