Plan the mounting locations of all components (Radio, Speaker, Microphone, and Antenna), and determine the routes for all wiring and cables. Notes Determine the customer’s preferences, if any, for location of components. Comply with these preferences insofar as they are consistent with safety, manufacturer specifications, and generally accepted professional practices. Make certain that drilling holes or inserting screws will not damage or interfere with any existing vehicle components or wiring. Follow all manufacturer requirements and guidelines for the location of components. 2. Mount the bracket in the interior of the vehicle. Mount the Bracket (Item 1) under or on top of the dash according to the available space in the vehicle. Screws for mounting the Bracket to the dash are not included, as all installations are different. The Bracket must be firmly held to the surface in order to prevent unreasonable vibration from damaging the Radio or loosening connections. For mounting on the transmission hump, select appropriate hardware such as a mounting wedge (not included in the Radio Installation Kit). 3. Mount the Radio onto the Bracket. COPYRIGHT ©2001 Install the Mobile Radio into the Bracket using the 4 screws (Item 8) and tighten with a screwdriver until the bracket is firm and flush to the surface of the Radio. Printed in U.S.A. M/A-COM 1011 Pawtucket Boulevard Lowell, MA 01853 1-877-OPENSKY (1-877-673-6759) 1-877-OPENSKY WINST-0004 Rev A WIRELESS SYSTEM BUSINESS UNIT SUBJECT: M-803 Dash-Mount Installation Instructions DATE: August 16, 2001 Page 3 of 14 Actions Notes 4. Assemble the Microphone Cable Assembly onto the Microphone Head. Connect the Microphone Cable Assembly (Item 7) to the Microphone Head (Item 6) by sliding the 2-pin connector of the cable into the cavity of the Microphone Head. Make sure the tab on the 2pin connector is on the same side as the cable release hole on the back of the Microphone Head. You will hear a click if properly inserted. 5. Install the Microphone Assembly into the Mobile Radio. Plug the 14-pin connector of the Microphone Cable (Item 7) into the mating connector on the face of the Mobile Radio by aligning the connector appropriately and pushing. You will again hear a click if properly inserted. 6. Mount the Microphone Clip in the interior of the vehicle. The Microphone Clip is included in the package with the Microphone Head (Item 6). Ensure that the Microphone Clip is connected to the vehicle’s chassis ground by either screwing the mounting screws directly into the chassis or by providing a jumper wire to a lug that is attached to the Clip. The Radio has a monitor function that can be used when the Microphone is cradled in the Clip. 7. If an optional CH-103 Control Head is not being used with the M-803 Mobile Radio, a CAN Terminator needs to be installed. Install the CAN Terminator (Item 9) onto the 3pin connector at the rear of the Radio by aligning the connector appropriately and twisting the outer housing clockwise until it stops. 8. Mount the Speaker in the interior of the vehicle and connect it to the Radio. Install the Speaker (Item 10) in an area of the front or rear dash that will allow for proper listening range for voice operation. Use the hardware and mounting bracket supplied with it. Refer to the Speaker manufacturer’s instructions included in the Speaker Assembly kit for additional installation guidance. Install the Speaker Cable Assembly (Item 5) onto the 15-pin connector at the rear of the Radio using a screwdriver. Do not over-tighten the screws. Connect the 2-pin connector on the Speaker (Item 10) to the mating connector on the Speaker Cable Assembly (Item 5). Route the excess COPYRIGHT ©2001 Printed in U.S.A.

Mount the Antenna at a suitable location on the vehicle, and route the Antenna Cable inside the vehicle for connection to the Radio. NOTE Improper installation of the antenna may lead not only to poor radio performance, but to harmful exposure as well. See Antenna Mounting Configurations below. The Antenna (Item 2) that is included in the kit must be mounted by drilling a hole. The optimal position of the antenna is in the direct center of the roof of the vehicle. Refer to Antenna Mounting Configurations for requirements necessary to follow when selecting the proper mounting area for the antenna. Also, refer to the antenna manufacturer’s mounting and testing instructions included in the Antenna Assembly kit for installation guidance once the mounting area is determined. Route the cable from the Antenna (Item 2) to the rear of the Radio out of the way of casual contact. Install the Mini-UHF connector of the cable to the mating connector at the rear of the cable by tightening until finger-tight. It is important that this connector is tight to prevent RF leakage from occurring, but not too tight that damage occurs. Do not connect the antenna cable to the Radio until satisfactory completion of testing into a dummy load (refer to Testing Into a Dummy Load). 10. If an optional GPS unit is included in the Radio, the GPS Antenna needs to be connected to the Radio. Connect the SMA connector of the GPS Antenna (Item 11) cable to the SMA connector on the rear of the Radio and route the cable out of the way of casual contact. The GPS Antenna is to be mounted on the roof of the vehicle with one of the 3 mounting configurations: Show-Mount, No Show-Mount, and Magnetic Mount. The Antenna must be kept at least 1 foot from any other antenna mounted on the vehicle and have at least 6 inches of ground plane beneath it. 11. Prepare for connecting the power to the Radio through the vehicle’s firewall. Plan the cable route carefully, using an existing access hole through the engine firewall if possible. Alternatively, drill a new hole approximately 3/8" in diameter and install a rubber grommet to protect the cable. COPYRIGHT ©2001 Printed in U.S.A. M/A-COM 1011 Pawtucket Boulevard Lowell, MA 01853 1-877-OPENSKY (1-877-673-6759) 1-877-OPENSKY WINST-0004 Rev A WIRELESS SYSTEM BUSINESS UNIT SUBJECT: M-803 Dash-Mount Installation Instructions DATE: August 16, 2001 Page 5 of 14 Actions Notes 12. The Fuse for Radio power must be installed in-line with raw battery voltage. Strip one end of the wire included in the Fuse Kit (Item 3) and crimp the terminal lug onto it. Cut the wire to a length of about 6 inches and strip the end to a length indicated by the gauge on the fuse holder. Insert this end into the fuse holder until the wire cannot go any further and crimp the connection to the fuse holder. Use heat-shrink tubing to protect the connection from foreign materials. Connect the remaining wire in a similar fashion to the other end of the fuse holder. Connect the terminal to the vehicle’s battery in the engine compartment. Route the wire through a wire loom and pass it through the firewall using a grommet to ensure the wire is not damaged. 13. Prepare the ground and sense connections prior to applying power to the Radio. Connect the DC Power Cable (Item 4) to the 3pin connector at the rear of the Radio. Locate a chassis ground close to the Radio and strip back any jacket insulation around the wires to allow for the shortest distance of the black wire. Cut the negative (black) wire as short as possible, strip it, and crimp the terminal to it. Screw it into the chassis ground, ensuring a reliable metal-tometal contact. Connect the sense (white) wire of the DC Power Cable (Item 4) to an appropriate terminal to connect to a fused ignition sense in the fuse box and route the excess wire out of the way of casual contact. 14. Apply the DC power connection to the Radio. NOTE Using a pigtail, butt-splice, or solder-sleeve, connect the positive (red) wire of the DC Power Cable (Item 4) to the fuse wire (Item 3) and route the excess wire out of the way of casual contact. Unlike many mobile radios, the OpenSky® Mobile Radio powers up immediately upon application of DC power. 15. Test the output of the installed Radio into a dummy load to verify that it meets specifications. COPYRIGHT ©2001 Refer to Testing Into a Dummy Load under Testing below for the procedure. Printed in U.S.A. M/A-COM 1011 Pawtucket Boulevard Lowell, MA 01853 1-877-OPENSKY (1-877-673-6759) 1-877-OPENSKY WINST-0004 Rev A WIRELESS SYSTEM BUSINESS UNIT SUBJECT: M-803 Dash-Mount Installation Instructions DATE: August 16, 2001 Page 6 of 14 Actions Notes 16. Connect the Antenna and test the Radio’s forward and reflected power to verify transmission performance. Refer to Testing With the Antenna under Testing below for the procedure. 17. Complete the installation by organizing, securing, and checking all cables and components. Take whatever steps are practical to make the installation neat and functional for the Radio’s user. Organize and secure all cables; make sure all connections are tight. TESTING This section sets forth procedures to verify the performance of the installed radio. Testing uses a wattmeter (or, alternatively, a VSWR meter) to measure RF power. There are three procedures in this section: Changing Operating Modes, Testing Into a Dummy Load, and Testing With the Antenna. Note that while the radio’s normal operating mode for voice or data communications is OpenSky® Trunking Protocol (OTP), the radio must be operating in OpenSky® Conventional FM (OCF) mode for testing. Follow the procedure under Changing Operating Modes to switch between the OCF and OTP modes. Note also that the accuracy of test results depends on a radio power source in the range of 13.8–16 volts DC at greater than 8 amps. Make sure the vehicle’s battery is fully charged by running the engine for a few minutes before the test, and keep the engine running during the test procedures. Test Equipment Comments Wattmeter Bird Electronic Corporation Model 43 or equivalent, with N-Series female connectors on both the input and output sides As an alternative to using a wattmeter, a Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) meter, Bird Electronic Corporation Model 4391A or equivalent, can be used to carry out the required RF (radio frequency) power testing.

Antenna Mounting Configurations This radio has been tested and complies with the FCC RF exposure limits for Uncontrolled Exposure and Occupational exposure. The difference is in the minimum safe distance that people must be away from the antenna when transmitting RF energy. To assure optimal radio performance and that human exposure to RF electromagnetic energy is within the guidelines, transmit only when people are at least the minimum distance away from a properly installed antenna. Table II lists the minimal distances.

Using Table II as a guide for determining the best possible mounting configuration in order to reduce human exposure, there are three possible locations on a vehicle where the antenna can be mounted, described as follows: Rooftop Center The center of the roof of a vehicle is the optimal location for the rooftop antenna. The mounting area under the antenna must be a flat, metallized ground plane, and it must be located directly in the center of the roof. If other obstructions, such as a light bar or another antenna, prevent the antenna from being mounted in the direct center of the roof, the antenna should be mounted, preferably, a minimum of one foot away from the obstruction, but in the middle of the roof with respect to the left and right sides of the vehicle. Trunk-Lid Center Certain vehicles do not allow for the antenna to be placed in the center of the roof. In this case, the next optimal location for the antenna is in the center of the trunk lid. Again, the mounting area under the antenna must be a flat, metallized ground plane, and it must be located directly in the center of the trunk lid. There are no other preferable solutions for mounting this antenna if other obstructions prevent the antenna from being mounted in the direct center of the trunk lid. Trunk-Lip Center Some antennas have a feature that allows them to be mounted on the lip of the trunk lid. In this case, the antenna is mounted on the top lip and in the direct center of the trunk lid. Again, there are no other preferable solutions for mounting this antenna if other obstructions prevent the antenna from being mounted in the direct top center of the trunk lid.
