2-4 Standard Configurations: Radio Mounting
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 new or existing installations, use one of the following mounting kits GLN7342B (Low 
profile mounting bracket), GLN7324B (High profile mounting bracket), RLN4799B (Key Lock 
mounting bracket) or RLN5999A ( Dim Mounting Bracket). Orient the mounting trunnion as 
shown in Figure 2-5
Figure 2-5.  Trunnion Orientation 
CAUTION: DO NOT mount the radio on a plastic dashboard 
without first reinforcing the dashboard; the weight of the radio may 
crack or break the dashboard.
CAUTION: 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.
CAUTION: 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.
