SAFETY AND GENERAL INFORMATION

•Refer to your phone’s user guide for safety information relating to

phone operation or other non car kit operation.

•This document contains important safety and operating instructions.

•Before using this Car Kit, read all the instructions and cautionary

markings on (1) the Car Kit, (2) the battery, and (3) the portable

phone using the battery.

Antenna and Installation Considerations

•All equipment must be properly installed in accordance with

Motorola installation instructions.

•Ensure the antenna is properly installed external to the vehicle and

in accordance with the requirements of the antenna manufacturer/

supplier.

•Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized

antennas, modifications, or attachments could impair reception

quality, damage the radio product, or result in non-compliance to

United States FCC Regulations for RF exposure.

•Position the antenna in such a way to maintain a separation distance

of at least 8 inches (20 cm) between the antenna connected to the

Car Kit and the body of any user, or nearby person, to assure

compliance with the United States FCC regulations on RF exposure.

W A R N I N G

VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIR BAGS

An air bag inflates with great force. Do NOT place

objects, including both installed or portable wireless

equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air

bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equip-

ment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates,

serious injury could result.

INSTALLATION

Installation Planning

Planning is the key to fast, easy installation. Before a hole is drilled or a

wire is run, inspect the vehicle and determine how and where you intend

to mount the junction box, phone cradle, speaker, visor microphone,

remote PTT button, remote palm microphone (optional), and speaker

(see Figure 1). Plan wire and cable runs to provide maximum protection

from pinching, crushing and overheating.

Figure 1. Car Kit Interconnection Diagram

A properly installed Car Kit will minimize service calls and equipment

downtime. Refer to the following guidelines when planning the installa-

tion:

•Use the provided hardware for mounting.

•Ensure that the cables are not stretched, and not subjected to heat

from engine or transmission.

•Crimp connectors securely.

•Do not attach components to any part of the vehicle that is not rigid

or is subject to excessive vibration.

•Do not run cables over sharp edges that could cause wear or

chaffing of cable insulation.

•Do not install the components in locations where they might cause

interference to the operation of the vehicle controls.

•If it is necessary to penetrate the firewall, check opposite side for

cable clearance before drilling and use a grommet to protect the

cable where it passes through.

Recommended Tools

The following tools are recommended for proper installation of your Car

Kit.

•Portable Drill

•Hammer

•Center Punch

•Phillips #2 Screwdriver

DC Power Cable Installation Instruction

The Car Kit must be operated only in negative ground electrical systems.

Reverse polarity (positive ground) does not damage the Car Kit, how-

ever, protection circuits cause the cable fuse to open. Check the ground

polarity before you begin installation to prevent wasted time and effort.

Both 12V and 24V electrical systems are supported.

The DC power cable shipped with the Car Kit is long enough for installa-

tion in most vehicles. Begin the power cable installation in the following

manner.

1. Remove the 5-ampere fuse from the power cable’s red wire before

proceeding.

2. Allow sufficient slack in the power cable’s connector end to reach

the end of Car Kit. (see Figure 1).

3. Set aside the 2 ft. (60 cm) fused section of the main power cable’s

red lead for later use. Route the red and black leads of the main

power cable to convenient chassis ground and ignition line connec-

tion points. If it is necessary to penetrate the firewall, use an existing

opening or, if necessary, drill a 19/32 inch (1.5 cm) hole. Insert a

grommet into the hole to prevent damage to the power cable (see

Figure 2).

6 CAR KIT OWNER’S MANUAL

Figure 2. Power Cable Assembly

4. Cut the black lead to the desired length and connect it to the chassis

of the vehicle.

5. Connect the red lead to an ignition-switched power source as fol-

lows:

a. Cut the long red lead to the desired length and connect (crimp) it

to the plug on the 2 ft. (60 cm) red fused section that was set

aside in step 3.

b. Connect the red lead from the fuse holder to a fused, switched

side of the vehicles ignition circuit.

Note: An ignition switched accessory terminal can be verified by

measuring the terminal while operating the vehicle’s key switch.

With the ignition key switch in the accessory-ON position, the ter-

minal voltage should measure the vehicle’s battery voltage. With the

switch in the OFF position, it should measure near zero.

6. Dress the cable in the engine compartment so that it does not

obstruct any vehicle controls nor touch any hot or moveable parts of

the engine.

7. Plug the fuse into the in-line fuse holder.

It is not good practice to connect the black lead to the

electrical system.

Junction Box Installation Instruction

In most vehicles, the best location for mounting the junction box is just

under the dash, or under the front seat. It must be protected from dirt and

moisture, and must be afforded adequate space for cooling. There must

also be sufficient space to allow for the connection of accessories. Mount

the junction box using the provided screws.

Phone Cradle Installation Instruction

Figure 4. Cradle Unit Installation Detail

Note: Always use the supplied fastening hardware to rigidly secure the

Cradle. An unsecured Cradle could cause a unit to move and interfere

with the proper operation of the vehicle.

When installing the Cradle refer to the following procedure or modify

the procedure to suit your type of vehicle:

1. Using one of the scissor bracket halves as a template, position the

bracket half so that the pivot end of the bracket is toward the bottom

of the Cradle.

a. Using an awl or similar device, make four holes in the carpet at

marked locations. This will prevent damage to the carpet when

drilling.

b. Mark and drill holes, then securely mount the bracket half using

the four metal screws supplies.

c Secure the cradle to the mounting bracket and connect its cable

to the Junction Box.

CAR KIT OWNER’S MANUAL 9

Antenna Installation Instruction

The best location for mounting the antenna is the center of a large, flat,

conductive surface. In almost all vehicles, these requirements are best

satisfied by mounting the antenna at the center of the roof. Some vehi-

cles have a large trunk lid that also provides a good antenna location. If

the trunk lid is used, connect grounding straps between the trunk lid and

the vehicles chassis to ensure the trunk lid is adequately grounded.

For best performance, use a low-loss coaxial cable with the highest gain

antenna.

The three Motorola tested and approved antennas that may be used with

this Car Kit are:

1. RAF4136AMM - Magnetic Antenna

2. RRA4914B - Mobile Roof Mount Antenna

3. FAD5524 - Mobile Window Antenna

Use only an approved antenna and refer to the installation instructions of

the antenna you have selected.

Note: Antennas with gain exceeding 9db do not comply with FCC RF

exposures and are not allowed for use with this product.

External Speaker Installation Instruction

The common location for mounting the speaker is on the firewall, beneath

the dashboard, on the passenger’s side of the vehicle. Hanger and trunnion

brackets are provided for mounting the speaker.

•It is recommended that the speaker be located 5ft (1.5m) from the

visor microphone. Avoid placing the speaker where it faces the

visor microphone.

•Place the speaker and speaker cable at least 1 foot (30 cm) away

from any part of the portable phone’s antenna.

The external speaker includes a trunnion and a hanger bracket. This enables the

speaker to be mounted in various ways.

10 CAR KIT OWNER’S MANUAL

Figure 5. External Speaker Installation Location

FOR OPTIMUM AUDIO PERFORMANCE, INSTALL THE

SPEAKER UNDERNEATH THE DASHBOARD ON THE PAS-

SENGER SIDE WITH THE SPEAKER GRILL FACING DOWN

TOWARDS THE FLOORBOARD (See Figure 5).

Carry out the following procedure (refer to figure 5):

1. Using the trunnion bracket as a template, drill the necessary mount-

ing holes and secure the bracket with the provided self-tapping

screws.

2. Position the speaker on the trunnion bracket and secure it using the

provided wing screws.

3. Route the speaker cable to avoid physical damage or visual obstruc-

tion. Allow sufficient slack in the connector end of the cable to reach

the Junction Box (see Figure 3, Junction Box Installation).
