Introduction
The T02-00004-0206 Rugged External
Speaker (for 25W radios) and the T02-00004-
0207 Rugged External Speaker (for 30-50W
radios) are installed in parallel with the radio’s
existing internal speaker. The external speaker
can then be installed at some distance from the
radio, or it can be used to increase the volume of
the audio from the radio’s existing internal
speaker.
The speaker is supplied with a flying lead (⑥)
and a 5m extension cable (④). The cable con-
nectors enable the speaker to be easily removed
and reconnected as required.
The flying lead connector is terminated with two
receptacles (⑦). The receptacles supplied with
the T02-00004-0206 (for 25W radios) are dif-
ferent to those supplied with the T02-00004-
0207 (for 30-50W radios). Two spare recept-
acles are included with each kit, along with three
mounting screws (③).
Installation
Remote Speaker Mounting
Refer to the image on the back of these instruc-
tions for an installation template.
1. Choose a mounting position for the
external speaker where it will not interfere
with the operation of any vehicle controls.
The speaker is waterproof (IP67), so it
can also be permanently mounted on the
exterior of the vehicle.
2. Remove the external speaker from the
mounting bracket and use the screws ③
provided to fix the mounting bracket
securely in the chosen location.
Notice Check before drilling that the drill will
not damage any components or wiring behind
the mounting location. If precise positioning is
required, pre-drill Ø3.0mm (1/8 inch) holes for
the supplied self-drilling screws. If the cable
connector is exposed, it must be adequately
protected against water ingress.
3. Attach the speaker to the mounting
bracket using the thumbscrews.
Notice Check that the speaker cable is pro-
tected from engine heat, sharp edges and
from being pinched or crushed.
4. Attach the 5m extension cable ④to the
external speaker cable ②and run this
extension cable back to the radio.
5. Install the two receptacles ⑦of the flying
lead ⑥into the radio power connector,
as described in “Power Connector Wir-
ing”, below.
6. Attach the mating connector of the
speaker extension cable to the flying lead
connector ⑤.
