Standard Configurations Radio Mounting 2-19
2.2 Radio Mounting
The mounting location must be accessible and visible. Select a location that will permit routing the
RF antenna cable as directly as possible.
NOTE: For optimum radio performance, orient the mounting trunnion as shown in Figure 2-22 or
Figure 2-23 for mid power and Figure 2-24 for high power. For new or existing installations of
all but 100W radios, use only the APX mobile trunnion, kit number HLN7002_except for APX
2500 and APX 4500 which shall use the trunnion with kit number HLN6861_. For new or
existing installations of 100W radios, use only the APX mobile trunnion, kit numbers
HLN7003_.

DO NOT mount the radio on a plastic mounting surface without first reinforcing the
mounting surface; the weight of the radio may crack or break the mounting surface.
DO NOT mount the radio on a flat or concave surface where the radio could be
partially submersed in water. This is especially important if the cab area of the vehicle
is cleaned by spraying with water. If the radio sits in water for a length of time, moisture
may seep inside the radio and damage the electronic components.
DO NOT allow water to stand in recessed areas of vertically mounted radios. Remove
any moisture immediately to prevent it from seeping down into the radio.
Care must be taken to shield the control head (front and back) from direct exposure to
pressurized water. The pressurized water from a hose, in most cases, is more severe
than the stated test and conditions in typical environments.
