Connect the button/switch wires to a ground pin and the emergency pin, removing the default jumper wire in the rear accessory cable. The button/switch shorts the pins when in-active. When the button/switch is pressed, its contact opens, the emergency path is un-ungrounded and pulled-high inside the radio transceiver, and detected by the processor. If an emergency accessory is used at either (or both) J2 connector and J626 connector, all jumper wires, shorting emergency to ground, must be removed so button/switch press can be detected.4.2.2 Horn (External Alarm) Relay InstallationMount the horn relay in a suitable location (normally under the dash). Connect the relay contacts across the horn ring switch, typically found in the steering column. Connect the two control wires to a SW B+ pin and a VIP OUT pin on the VIP connector.4.2.3 Lights (External Alarm) Relay InstallationMount the light relay in a suitable location (normally under the dash). Connect the relay contacts across the head lamp ON/OFF switch. Connect the two control wires to a SW B+ pin and a VIP OUT pin on the VIP connector.4.2.4 Gunlock InstallationThe O7 or O9 control head can program up to three gunlocks through the programmable buttons. You can set the time for the momentary trigger using the time-out trigger button. Connect the relay contacts across the gunlock switch to install the gunlock. Connect the two control wires to a SW B+ pin and a VIP OUT pin on the VIP connector.It is recommended to install a failsafe/redundant bypass switch for the gunlock. It is suggested to use a separate timer switch or a manual push-on button switch to activate the gunlock. Connect the switch from the supply to the gunlock directly, as shown in Figure 4-4. Place the manual button at a suitable and reachable location, yet not easily seen.The radio is sold with correct accessory cables and jumpers in order to have emergency de-activated by default, regardless of the setting in CPS. However, if cables are not used, or if jumpers are removed without replacing with an emergency accessory button/switch at one of the accessory ports, the radio power-up upon the application of A+. The display may not show an indication that the radio is on, and this can result in an incorrect operation of the radio as well as excessive current drain of the vehicle battery when the engine is off.!C a u t i o nDraft

MN003109A01_aaOptions and Accessories Installation Vehicle Interface Port Overview 4-74.2.8 USB Data CablesIt is recommended that the USB 1.5 meter data cable HKN6163_ is used for both dash mount configurations (at J2 connector) and for remote mount configurations (at J100 connector). This is because the HKN6163_ has the emergency jumper present, which is necessary for correct dash mount configurations. For interfacing at the MMP port, use Cable HKN6184_ which is a USB device cable.The USB 4 meter (15 feet) data cable HKN6172_ is recommended for connections to the J2.If the customer intends to use the HKN6172_ for connections to the J2, the cable 26-pin connector must be opened and an emergency jumper-wire placed across pins 14 and 15. Refer to Figure 4-1.4.2.9 RS232 CablesThe following are RS232 cables. Although not compatible with CPS radio reading or programming, they can be used for interfacing with RS232 accessories or RS232 computer programs. HKN6160_ is a 6 feet RS232 cable from J2 connector. HKN6161_ is a 20 feet RS232 cable from J2 connector.4.3 Vehicle Interface Port OverviewThe Vehicle Interface Port (VIP) allows the control head to operate outside circuits and to receive inputs from outside the control head. There are three VIP outputs which are used for relay control. There are also three VIP inputs which accept inputs from switches (remote mount only). Figure 4-7. Remote Control Head PinoutsFigure 4-8.

MN003109A01_aa4-8 Options and Accessories Installation Vehicle Interface Port Overview4.3.1 VIP Output ConnectionsThe VIP output pins are on the back of the control head (J100 and J400), or the rear accessory port (J2), as shown in Figure 2-12. Use these connections to wire control relays. One end of the relay should connect to switched B+ voltage, while the other side connects to a software controlled ON/OFF switch inside the control head. The relay can be normally on or normally off depending on the configuration of the VIP outputs. There are three VIP output connections, as follows:The function of these VIP outputs can be field programmed in the control head. Typical applications for VIP outputs are external horn/lights alarm and horn ring transfer relay control. For further information on VIP outputs, see the control head programming manual.VIP OUT 1 and VIP OUT 2 can be accessed from either J100 or J400 connectors. This is to allow a previously wired VIP OUT at J2 to move easily to J100. However, when any cable is inserted into J400, J100 VIP OUTs are disabled.When installing relays to the VIP OUT lines, a diode is necessary to prevent damage to the transistor or MOSFET, due to “back EMF” when the field collapses on the relay coil. Some vendor relays already come with this diode built-in, and other relays require the customer to install it. Figure 4-9 shows the proper placement of the diode across the relay coil. The transistor or MOSFET is located inside the radio or the D.E.K. box.Figure 4-9. Relay CoilNOTE: See Appendix A: Replacement Parts Ordering to order relay for your VIP OUT applications. Example relay hardware: TLN4533_ (relay without internal diode), HLN6969_ (relay with internal back EMF protection diode), and HKN4258_ (relay wiring cable).Table 4-1.

The MOSFET of a VIPOUT should never be used to directly drive an accessory. The MOSFET should be used to control an external relay. ProtectionDiode Draft
MN003109A01_aaOptions and Accessories Installation Vehicle Interface Port Overview 4-94.3.2 VIP Input ConnectionsThe VIP input pins are only available on the back of the control head (remote mount). These connections control inputs from switches. One side of the switch connects to ground while the other side connects to a buffered input on the control head. The switch can be normally closed (NC) or normally open (NO) depending on the configuration of the VIP inputs. There are three VIP input connections, as follows:NOTE: Remote Mount requires the VIP cable to be attached to J400. MCH installations require the VIP inputs to be connected to the head assigned ID #1. See Section 2.2.2.4 for further information.Table 4-2.

Chapter 5 Motorcycle Radio Installation - Mid Power5.1 Motorcycle Radio DescriptionThe motorcycle model includes all the same components in the standard radio. The following paragraphs describe the unique items provided with the motorcycle models. A small label is included with the motorcycle radio, which can be placed on the radio to identify it as a motorcycle radio. The label should be placed on a flat and protected area to avoid damage during handling. See Figure 5-1.Figure 5-1. Identification of a Motorcycle Radio by Using a Label5.1.1 Transceiver EnclosureThe transceiver is mounted in the weather-resistant enclosure that consists of a bottom housing and a hinged top cover. The top cover has a locking latch that requires a key to open. The enclosure is mounted above the rear motorcycle wheel, oriented so that the lock is forward and the hinged cover opens toward the rear of the motorcycle. The bottom housing has a grommeted hole for cable entry and weep holes to permit water drainage.The enclosure is mounted on the motorcycle with a universal mounting plate and shock and vibration isolators. A large, braided ground-strap (installed between the mounting plate bolts and the motorcycle frame) grounds the transceiver.5.1.2 Control/Display UnitAll radio functions, except push-to-talk (PTT), are activated from the control head, which also is weather-resistant. The control head and the external speaker are mounted for easy access near the center of the handlebars. The control head is positioned for unobstructed viewing, and it may be tilted on the horizontal axis for ease of viewing. The microphone cable port on the front of the control head is plugged and is not used. 5.1.3 Control Head CableThe control-head cable connects the control head to the transceiver. The cable is routed along the motorcycle frame and has weather-resistant connections at both ends. Excess cable is coiled under the transceiver inside the weather-resistant enclosure.Each end of the cable is strain-relieved with jackscrews at the control head and the transceiver. The cable is shielded to reduce the effects of radio frequency interference and ignition sense noise.Draft
MN003109A01_aa5-2 Motorcycle Radio Installation - Mid Power Motorcycle Radio Description5.1.4 MicrophoneA weather-resistant, palm microphone and coiled cord plug into a pigtail connector on the control cable. The microphone attaches to a hang-up bracket located within easy reach of the motorcycle rider. The coiled cord is long enough to be operated by someone standing next to the motorcycle, yet short enough to not interfere with the motorcycle steering or operation.5.1.5 External SpeakerA 3.2-ohm, 10-watt-rated-audio-power, external speaker is mounted on the front of the motorcycle. The speaker cable is routed along the motorcycle frame to the transceiver rear accessory connector. A sealed, weather-resistant, speaker-muting (toggle) switch is mounted on top of the speaker.The external speaker connects to the rear accessory connector of the transceiver.5.1.6 Headset CapabilityThe motorcycle radio is compatible with various headset accessories that provide hands-free operation of the radio. Motorola Solutions does not manufacture headset equipment, but provides the interconnection for headset equipment with the motorcycle radio. Aftermarket headset equipment is available through Motorola Solutions (see Appendix A: Replacement Parts Ordering).5.1.7 AntennaThe antenna(s) are mounted on top of the transceiver weather-resistant enclosure. The enclosure metal lining acts as the antenna ground plane.5.1.8 Ignition Sense (ACC) WireThe ignition sense wire connects to the motorcycle fuse box and is routed along the motorcycle frame to the transceiver rear accessory connector.The radio is wired so that transmission is inhibited if the motorcycle ignition sense switch is off. If the PTT switch is pressed with the ignition sense off, a low-frequency tone sounds. The receiver is controlled by the control head on/off switch.To avoid loud audio, refer to the CPS help menu for audio settings if the Motorola Solutions mobile radio is used with any motorcycle helmet headset.!C a u t i o nDraft
MN003109A01_aaMotorcycle Radio Installation - Mid Power Installation Overview 5-35.2 Installation Overview5.2.1 GeneralAll APX mobile radios are tested and inspected before shipment. It is, however, suggested that the transmitter frequency, deviation, and power output be checked at the time of installation. It is the license holder responsibility to ensure that the operating parameters of his station comply with applicable laws governing radio communications equipment. For tests and alignment procedures, refer to the appropriate service manual (refer to “Related Publications”.Generally, the installation of the motorcycle radio takes place in the following parts:• Mounting the universal mounting plate and related hardware at the rear of the motorcycle;• Mounting the control head, speaker, microphone, and related hardware forward on the motorcycle;• Routing the power cable, control-head cable, speaker cable, and ignition sense cable to the weather-resistant enclosure;• Mounting the weather-resistant enclosure and radio chassis, and connecting the cables;• Mounting the antenna(s) to the weather-resistant enclosure.A universal mounting plate, supplied by Motorola Solutions, is first mounted to either a motorcycle carrier at the rear of the motorcycle or to the rear frame of the motorcycle itself. The mounting procedures for the universal mounting plate vary from motorcycle to motorcycle. Therefore, the procedures given in this manual for installing the mounting plate may not specifically apply, but are provided for guidance.The control head, speaker, and microphone are mounted forward on the motorcycle, on or near the steering column. There are several possible mounting configurations which use a combination of Motorola Solutions and customer-built brackets. These configurations are outlined in this manual. Because of the large number of motorcycle makes and models in existence, the customer-built brackets are necessary to tailor the mounting of the Motorola Solutions equipment to the particular motorcycle being used. Suggestions for customer-built brackets are given in this manual.The power cable, control-head cable, speaker cable, and ignition sense cable are routed to the weather-resistant enclosure position. The enclosure and the radio chassis are then mounted. Special care is required when connecting cables to the radio equipment within the enclosure.Draft
MN003109A01_aa5-4 Motorcycle Radio Installation - Mid Power Installation Overview5.2.2 Important Motorcycle Installation HintsConsider the following when mounting the radio components:• Excess lengths of control-head, power, ignition sense, and speaker cables must be routed in the enclosure as shown in Figure 5-19.• All components must be mounted securely in order to withstand the constant and sometimes severe vibration experienced on a motorcycle.• No cantilever action, which could cause severe vibration, should be generated in the mounting hardware.• The control head and microphone must be placed for ease of accessibility by the motorcycle operator.• Forward components (control head, microphone, and speaker) should not interfere with visual or physical access to controls and instruments.• Forward components should not interfere with the handling of the motorcycle.• Cabling between the control head and the radio chassis should be run to minimize interference with operator movements.• The weather-resistant enclosure should be placed to avoid any interference with the motorcycle operator.• Electrical continuity must be present through the enclosure shock mounts to the motorcycle frame for proper electrical and RF grounding.• The antenna(s) are designed for mounting on the top of the weather-resistant enclosure and an adequate metal ground plane.• Only the supplied microphone mounting clip should be used to ensure secure mounting of the microphone. This clip has a very strong spring to ensure positive retention of the microphone over rough terrain. Also, there must be electrical continuity from this clip to the motorcycle frame for DC grounding.• Direct access to the microphone should be provided from both sides of the motorcycle.• Sufficient slack in the microphone coiled cord should be allowed so as not to impede steering.• Mounting hardware must be stainless steel to prevent corrosion.• If an extra length of cable is used to extend the microphone, ensure that the added capacitance does not interfere with the operation of the radio.• A suitable covering should be applied to the DB-9 receptacle when the water resistant microphone (HMN1079) is not connected.Draft
MN003109A01_aaMotorcycle Radio Installation - Mid Power Installation Overview 5-55.2.3 Parts IdentificationThe following installation procedures refer to Figure 5-2 through Figure 5-20. Detailed descriptions of the mounting hardware used in each procedure are provided in parts lists located in the exploded views located in the APX Mobile Basic Service Manual (see related documentation). Those parts supplied by Motorola Solutions are contained in one of the following kits:• Motorcycle Weather-Resistant Microphone• Motorcycle Weather-Resistant Speaker with Mute Switch• Motorcycle Hardware Kit SECURENET or Motorcycle Hardware Kit• Motorcycle Power Cable Kit• Motorcycle Mounting Kit• Weather-Resistant Enclosure• Antenna5.2.4 Order of InstallationBefore starting the installation, familiarize yourself with the mounting hardware (see Figure 5-2 through Figure 5-20).

MN003109A01_aa5-6 Motorcycle Radio Installation - Mid Power Installing the Universal Mounting Plate5.3 Installing the Universal Mounting PlateThe universal mounting plate, supplied with the motorcycle radio, must be mounted on the motorcycle first. It provides the base on which the weather-resistant enclosure is to be mounted. The method used for mounting the plate depends on the make and model of the motorcycle and whether the plate is mounted to a carrier or to the motorcycle chassis. After the plate has been securely mounted to the motorcycle, mounting the weather-resistant enclosure onto the plate is straightforward.Figure 5-2 illustrates the universal mounting plate mounted to a motorcycle carrier. Since there are so many makes and models of motorcycles and motorcycle carriers, it is impossible to give specific step-by-step instructions for mounting the universal mounting plate. However, noting the following considerations aids in the installation procedure.• A minimum of holes are predrilled into this plate as supplied. Mounting holes must be drilled as required for the particular motorcycle on which the plate is being mounted.• The universal mounting plate should be mounted on the motorcycle in such a manner that the later mounting of the weather-resistant enclosure do not interfere with the motorcycle seat back, with any other obstacles, or with the motorcycle operator. The enclosure may be temporarily bolted to the universal mounting plate and the unit positioned on the motorcycle to ensure the above criteria are met.• To ensure a good grounding path from the universal mounting plate to the motorcycle carrier or frame, stainless steel lock washers must be used with the mounting hardware in two areas to score through the paint on the universal mounting plate and on the carrier or frame, thereby, providing good electrical contact with the underside of the motorcycle carrier or motorcycle frame.Figure 5-2. Universal Mounting Plate Installation (Part of Radio Enclosure Kit)Follow the procedures below to mount the universal mounting plate to the motorcycle (see Figure 5-2).1. Determine the mounting position for the mounting plate.2. Determine whether stainless steel spacers are required for clearance in mounting the plate.3. Drill four 9/32-inch holes in the mounting plate and the corresponding motorcycle carrier or chassis for mounting the plate.4. Attach the universal mounting plate to the motorcycle using four machine screws, eight lock washers, and four nuts. Tighten screws securely. The lock washers must cut through the paint on the plate and motorcycle carrier or frame to ensure a good ground path.Draft
MN003109A01_aaMotorcycle Radio Installation - Mid Power Installing the Speaker and Control Head 5-75.4 Installing the Speaker and Control HeadNOTE: To disable the internal speaker of the O2 Control Head, please refer to Section 2.5.1: “Internal Speaker Disassembly” .The control head mounting location and configuration is determined largely by the make and model of motorcycle. Two different mounting configurations are described below. One involves mounting the speaker and control head together as a unit using the combination speaker/control-head bracket (shown in Figure 5-4) supplied by Motorola Solutions. Alternately, the control head may be mounted by itself using a smaller control-head bracket supplied by Motorola Solutions. In this case, the speaker is mounted elsewhere. This section outlines installation procedures for each configuration mentioned above. The customer (or installer) is in the best position to determine the most appropriate mounting configuration for the control head and speaker based on the particular motorcycle on which the equipment is to be mounted. Figure 5-3. Motorcycle Control Head Cabling (3075217A01)When determining its location, position the control head so that it is clearly visible and within easy reach of the motorcycle operator.!C a u t i o nDraft
MN003109A01_aa5-8 Motorcycle Radio Installation - Mid Power Installing the Speaker and Control Head5.4.1 Handlebar Installation with Speaker and Control Head Mounted TogetherFigure 5-4 illustrates the combination speaker/control head bracket. This combination bracket is used only when the control head and speaker are to be mounted as a unit. Also illustrated in Figure 5-4 is a handlebar-mounting bracket which may be required if the combination speaker/control-head bracket cannot be easily mounted to the motorcycle. In this case the handlebar-mounting bracket is mounted to the motorcycle, and the combination bracket is then mounted to the handlebar-mounting bracket.Figure 5-4. Handlebar Installation with Speaker and Control Head Mounted TogetherDraft
MN003109A01_aaMotorcycle Radio Installation - Mid Power Installing the Speaker and Control Head 5-9Provision has been made on the combination speaker/control-head bracket for mounting the microphone hang-up clip. If that mounting is desired, the hang-up clip must be attached to the bracket before installing the control head and speaker. See Section 5.6: “Installing the Microphone Hang-Up Clip” for the hang-up clip procedure. Install the speaker and control head as described below.1. Determine the location where the speaker/control head is to be mounted. Consider how the speaker/control-head bracket may be mounted, and whether or not a handlebar-mounting bracket is needed. Take care to select a location that is not only mechanically convenient, but is located for ease of operation.NOTE: The angle at which the handlebar-mounting bracket or the speaker/control-head bracket is mounted to the motorcycle determines the firing angle of the speaker.2. If the handlebar-mounting bracket is needed, install it first.3. Mount the speaker/control-head bracket, either directly to the motorcycle, or, if used, to the handlebar-mounting bracket, using four stainless-steel machine screws, lock washers, and nuts. 4. Mount the 9-pin D-connector end of the motorcycle control-head cable to the speaker/control head bracket, using two machine screws, flat washers, and nuts. (Cable routing directions appear later in this section.) 5. Mount the speaker on the speaker/control-head bracket, using two machine screws and lock washers. Torque these screws to 20 in-lbs. 6. Attach the control-head cable to the control head and tighten the locking screws on the connector. This connection must be made before you mount the control head in the bracket. (Cable routing directions appear later in this section.) 7. Mount the control head to the bracket, using two machine screws, lock washers, and flat washers. 8. Adjust the control head viewing angle by loosening its mounting screws and rotating the control head to the desired angle. Then, retighten screws to 20 in-lbs torque. This concludes the speaker/control-head installation.5.4.2 Fuel Tank Console Installation with Speaker and Control Head Mounted TogetherSome motorcycles provide a console for mounting radio equipment. This console is attached to the top of the fuel tank. With the use of a mounting bracket, screws, nuts, and lock washers, the combination speaker/control-head bracket can be mounted to this console. Figure 5-5 illustrates this type of mounting.The console attachment screws must be removed, and the console must be lifted slightly from the fuel tank to gain access in order to attach mounting hardware, and to route cables later.In this installation, the microphone (mic), mic hang-up bracket, and mic extension bracket interferes with handlebar travel. Installation using this method is the same as in Section 5.4.1: “Handlebar Installation with Speaker and Control Head Mounted Together” .Draft

Ignition Sense (Red) Wire Portion of Accessory Cable – runs from the ignition sense fuse terminal of the fuse box to the rear area inside the enclosure. The lug for attaching the ignition sense wire is contained on the accessory cable.4. Power Cable – The red, unterminated end runs from the positive terminal of the battery to the power connector that plugs in the rear of the transceiver. Lugs for attaching the red and black leads are contained in the motorcycle power-cable kit. The black, unterminated end runs from a suitable motorcycle chassis ground to the power connector. DO NOT connect the black lead directly to the negative battery post.You may route the cables in any order. As you route each cable, temporarily fasten it at both ends. When all cables have been run, permanently fasten the cables with appropriate cable tie wraps. Observe the following during routing and hook-up:1. Route the cables so that none interfere with motorcycle operation.2. Fasten the cables with supplied nylon tie wraps. The wraps should be firmly installed at frequent intervals along the cable length in such a manner that motorcycle vibration do not cause metal fatigue and subsequent breakage of the cable wires. 3. Take care to position cables away from parts of the motorcycle that get hot.Bundle excess cable length inside the weather-resistant enclosure as discussed later in Section 5.11: “Transceiver, Cabling and Multiplexer Installation” . The fifth cable is the microphone with coiled cord. Plug the 9-pin D-connector end of the coiled cord into its mating connector, which was attached near the control head discussed in an earlier paragraph. Tighten the coiled-cord-retention screws.

Weather-Resistant Enclosure Installation1. Remove the radio-mounting plate by removing four screws, lock washers, and flat washers.2. The weather-resistant enclosure is mounted to the universal mounting plate using shock mounts. Assemble the shock-mount components exactly as shown in Figure 5-18. Be sure to install ground straps between the shock-mount and the transceiver trunnion mount, and install one 7-1/2-inch ground strap between the right rear mount and the enclosure lid antenna ground plane 0 (shown in Figure 5-18 and in Figure 5-20).3. The order of assembly is important to ensure proper shock mount operation. All components are supplied with the mounting kit. The five 7- 1/2-inch straps are used on the rear and front shock mounts – four from shock mount to trunnion, and one from the shock mount to the lid antenna ground plane. NOTE: Grounding through the power-supply cable is NOT sufficient. Whether the radio transceiver is mounted to a carrier or the chassis itself, the transceiver MUST be properly grounded to the motorcycle chassis. The ground strap supplied with the installation kit may have to be used to ensure a good RF ground path from the radio transceiver to the motorcycle chassis. 4. Install the 3-foot ground strap on one of the front shock mounts. Route it through the cable-routing hole and connect the other end to the motorcycle frame (see Figure 5-18).DO NOT connect the ground strap directly to the negative battery post.71723 4856TO MOTORCYCLECHASSIS GROUNDItem No. Description Item No. Description1 Universal Mounting Plate 5 Flat Rubber Washer2 Machine Screw 6 Shouldered Rubber Washer3 Lockwasher 7 7-1/2-inch Ground Strap4 Flat Washer 8 Ground Strap!W A R N I N G!Draft

Chapter 7 Best Practices: Installation & TroubleshootingIn this section are Motorola Solutions recommended vehicle installation practices that can address or prevent many issues, including:• Radio circuit damage due to over voltage condition• Radio/Accessories "lock up"• Radio/Accessories change state/lock-up when radio PTT is depressed• Radio powers up in the FL 01/90 state (general communication error code)• Radio intermittently resets• Radio loses secure key• Transmit audio distortion on motorcycle radio when engine is running for mid power radios• Keypad buttons become inoperative for motorcycle radios when engine is running for mid power radios• Alternator whine present when transmitting with engine running• Radio/Accessories turn themselves on/off7.1 Check Wiring of Ignition and Radio Ignition Sensing• If it is required to turn the radio on and off through the ignition sense switch, in addition to the control head on/off switch, connect the ignition sense lead to the accessory terminal from the ignition switch (usually in the vehicle fuse panel under accessory or radio).NOTE: Motorola Solutions recommends protecting or isolating the radio ignition sense input from voltage spikes in excess of +/- 40 VDC. Such spikes can be hundreds of volts in amplitude and are common in larger vehicles (utility trucks, buses and others), especially when the source is common to a solenoid coil. A triggerable oscilloscope is required to determine the existence of such spikes as most voltmeters cannot measure in short duration (< 1 msec). If the condition of the intended ignition sense source is unknown, Motorola Solutions recommends isolating the source from the radio with a relay or the use of a suppression diode wired between the source and ground. Any high current suppression diode that is MR2535 with a breakdown voltage of between 18 and 40 V suffices. A suitable diode kit is available from Motorola Solutions parts, kit number HLN6325_.• If it is required to have the radio power up only through the control head on/off switch, then connect the ignition sense lead directly to the positive terminal of the battery. This means the ignition sense is always ignored and a re-wiring is necessary in the future if the operator chooses any ignition sense CPS setting. Draft
MN003109A01_aa7-2 Best Practices: Installation & TroubleshootingCheck Physical Installation of Radio Ground and Radio Accessory Wiring7.2 Check Physical Installation of Radio Ground and Radio Accessory Wiring• Take care to scrape away paint on the chassis at the place where the ground connection is to be made, and try to keep the ground lead as short as possible. NOTE: Some vehicles have dedicated ground points. If available, use the ground points for the radio ground connection.• Verify that the A+ lead (red) is connected directly to the positive terminal of the battery and the ground lead (black) is connected to the vehicle chassis using as short of a length of wire as is practical.• For vehicles that have other types of electronic equipment installed (lights, flashers, computers siren/PA and others), use a separate ground for the mobile radio equipment.• Make sure that the mobile radio antenna is the minimum required distance (three feet) from the mobile radio equipment to prevent radio frequency interference (RFI) from interfering with the radio and/or accessories.NOTE: If multiple radios/antennas are installed, ensure that the minimum antenna separation requirements are met.• Do not coil up any excess length of the A+ (red) lead. Doing this may cause a large transient voltage to be produced when there is a high current drain (e.g. during transmit). This could cause the radio to reset when the push-to-talk (PTT) is depressed.• For mid power radios, make sure that the antenna ground connection is solid for motorcycle mounted radios. An intermittent ground connection can cause the transmission to be distorted when the motorcycle engine is running.• Do not coil up any excessive length of antenna cable, if possible. It may affect the radio receive performance.• If an extra length of cable is used to extend the microphone, make sure the added capacitance does not interfere with the operation of the radio.7.3 Improve the Electrical Quality of the Power and Ignition Lines• Use a relay to isolate the vehicle ignition switch point (ACC) from the radio ignition sense point. Control this relay from the vehicle ignition switch point (ACC). Supply a cleaner voltage from the positive terminal of the battery into the relay, which is attached to the radio ignition sense point. Now the ACC line toggles the relay, instead of directly toggling the radios ignition sense line.• Install a Power Line Filter between the A+ lead and the positive terminal of the battery. This is intended to filter the battery power applied to the transmitter power amplifiers. Pay extra caution to this because the series filter introduces a negative spike when the radio transmits that may cause problems with radio operation. • For vehicles that use electromechanical relays to control external devices (lights, motors, switch boxes and others), these relay circuits should be isolated as best as possible from the mobile radio equipment. Also, diode suppression should be used across the relay contacts to minimize the noise produced by the collapsing magnetic field.• If the ignition sense switch is to be used, make sure that there is not a large voltage drop between the A+ point (usually the positive terminal of the battery) and the ignition sense point. In general, the voltage difference between these two points, should not be greater than 1.5 volts when all accessories/air-conditioner, others are turned on. Refer to the Basic Service Manual for specifications for minimum and maximum voltage levels. Typical battery voltage levels are 13.6V +/- 20%.Draft
MN003109A01_aaBest Practices: Installation & Troubleshooting Minimize the Effect of Poorly Grounded Antennas 7-37.4 Minimize the Effect of Poorly Grounded Antennas• For vehicles with high power radios that use glass mount antennas, care must be taken tokeep the radio and antenna cable as far as possible from the radiating element of theantenna. If a sufficient distance is not maintained, the glass mount antenna lack of a properground plane may cause the radio transmit signal to interfere with itself and cause a reset. Tominimize this effect, it may be necessary to install ferrite beads on the antenna cable toprotect the radio from this interference.7.5 Jump-Start the VehicleJump-starting a vehicle can crank 300+ volts through the vehicle charging system and these transients can damage electrical equipment.The state of your radio prior to needing a jump-start may be unknown, and the radio may attempt to return to its last state (radio ON), when doing a jump-start. Therefore, Motorola Solutions recommends the following steps be taken before jump-starting any vehicle containing a radio.1. Locate the ignition sense line (thin yellow wire or thin red wire, depending on dash mount orremote mount installation) and the main power leads (thick red wire) near the battery positiveterminal.NOTE: These lines are fused. In the event these lines are not fused (add the appropriate fuse in line) use whatever tools necessary to physically disconnect the ignition sense and power lines from the battery terminal. Make sure that the disconnected lines are not in the way of moving parts or interfering with the operation in any way.2. Open up the fuse holders and remove the fuses out of the kits.3. Re-tighten the fuse holders but without the fuses to insure that ignition sense and power linesdo not interfere with moving parts.4. Proceed with the jump-start routine as described by your vehicle owner manual.5. Once the jump-start process is complete, re-install the fuses into their holders.7.6 Eliminate Noise/Howling from PA Speaker1. Refer to Section 2.1.1 for recommended methods of installation available for the mobiletwo-way radio, with accessories placed on or inside the vehicle.2. Refer to Section 2.1.2 for the wiring diagrams for the recommended configurations.3. Refer to the Siren/PA User Manual for further details on lowering the wattage.Do not jump-start vehicle with radio power or ignition sense cables connected. Damage to the radio and/or accessories may result.!C a u t i o nDraft
