Note: Be sure to mount away from ignition boxes to avoid RF interference.
Step #2 Mount intercom and radio
Mount intercom with L bracket mounts. Be sure to allow enough room behind the
intercom for the cables to be connected. The unique RRP600 mounting design allows you
to easily slide intercom out of the mounting brackets for plugging in cables and adjusting
radio transmit levels.
Mount mobile radio with the U bracket mounting supplied by manufacturer.
Step #3 Headset to intercom cables
Route the headset cables from the intercom to each seat. Be sure
to run cables in a location where there is not excessive heat or
they may get damaged. Always route cables away from ignition
boxes or coils as RF interference may occur. After routing
cables plug headset cables into the correct position into the
intercom. Be sure the driver cable is plugged into the driver
position on the intercom. If the co-driver and driver are reversed
the co-drivers mic will turn on when the driver pushes their
push to talk for car to car transmitting. Plug cables into back of
the intercom.
