Chapter 4 Finishing the Installation: Cable Connection
Perform the following if it has not been previously done:
1. Remove the control head from its mounting trunnion. Plug the radio's CAN cable into the
proper location on the back of the control head (see Figure 2-18 and Figure 2-19 in Chapter
2). The connectors “click” when snapped into place. The control head model can have the
microphone plugged into the lower left corner of the control head front panel.
2. Connect the plug from the speaker lead to the mating connector coming out of the power
cable.
3. Plug the VIP connector into the correct location on the back of the control head.
4. Connect the CAN cable to the proper location on the tranceiver.
NOTE: Connector-protective covers are provided with the radio. They should be used for added
environmental robustness.
5. Be sure the control head and microphone PTT switches are OFF. Install the 15- or 20-amp
fuse in the radio power cable fuseholder and the 3- or 4-amp fuse(s) in the ignition cable
fuseholder(s).
6. Turn the radio ON at the control head and verify proper operation of all controls and
indicators. Radio operation in some installations require turning on the ignition. Perform a
complete operational check of the radio.
7. Dress the control and power cables out of the way to prevent damage (pull any excess cable
into the trunk area) securing with clamps and tie wraps where necessary.
