6.2 PRE-INSTALLATION VEHICLE CHECK
Performing a vehicle pre-installation equipment check provides a vehicle operation baseline prior to
installing Harris mobile equipment. This pre-check can be documented using the sample Installation
Checklist provided later in this manual (see Section 15).
The performance of the pre-check may require a certified operator.
The items to be checked are detailed on the Installation Checklist. Check all items and indicate results on
the checklist, or enter “n/a” or “not applicable” if the vehicle does not have it. Clearly record any items
that are non-functional and any servicing that must be completed before the install can begin. Bring these
to attention of the authorized customer representative.
6.3 PLANNING THE INSTALLATION
Carefully plan the mounting locations of all components (radio, Control Head, antenna, and cables) and
determine the routes for all wiring and cables.
Before installing the mobile radio equipment, check the vehicle manufacturer’s user
manual for warnings or recommendations.
Harris recommends the buyer use only an authorized representative to install and
service this product. The warranties provided to the buyer under the terms of sale shall
be null and void if this product is installed or serviced improperly, and Harris will have
no further obligation to the buyer for any damage caused to the product or to any person
or personal property.
Use only Harris-supplied mounting brackets, hardware, and interconnect cabling when
installing the mobile radio, Control Heads, and accessories (speakers, microphones,
etc.).
Failure to use approved parts and accessories may cause product issues, such as;
degraded radio performance, corrosion from dissimilar metals, or substandard
equipment installations.
All cables should have a service loop near each connector. Do not bend the cables at
severe angles near the connector. After all components are installed, verify no cable is
under any tension. Failure to do so may lead to damaged cables, causing intermittent
radio operation or complete radio failure.
