Thoroughly inspect the equipment for shipping damage as soon as possible after delivery. Report any damage you find to your Motorola Customer Service representative immediately. Safety and General Information ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ A properly installed VML750 unit minimizes service calls. When mounting the VML750 unit components, consider the following factors: This device requires professional installation to satisfy compliance with FCC requirements. 6802988C54-B July 2014 • The mounting surface must have sufficient strength to support the equipment being mounted and to prevent it from becoming loose over time. • Do not attach components to any part of the vehicle subjected to excessive vibration. • Do not mount the VML750 unit on a flat surface where the unit could become partially submersed in water. • The proposed location of the equipment being mounted or wires/cables attached must not interfere with driver/passenger seating or leg space. 2-1 Safety and General Information Chapter 2: VML750 Installation • Select a location such that heat from the unit does not damage any wiring or any other plastic or heat-sensitive parts of the automobile. • Use the supplied mounting hardware. • Leave sufficient space around the VML750 unit for air flow and installation. • Select a location that permits routing the cables as directly as possible. • Ensure that the cables are not stretched, and not subject to heat from the engine, transmission housing, or heating ducts. • Crimp connectors securely. • Do not run cables over sharp edges that may cause excessive wear or chaffing of the cable insulation. • Do not install components in locations where they may cause interference to the operation of the vehicle's controls. • Only qualified personnel may install communication equipment. • Ensure secure tightening of cable connectors. Install this product in a vehicle in accordance with the vehicle manufacturer’s guidelines and the instructions detailed in this manual. Use only the Motorola parts specified in this manual. Check the required mounting locations. It might be necessary to penetrate the firewall to reach the battery. Before drilling commences, ensure cable clearance on the opposite side of the firewall and do not install the vehicle’s Electronic Control Modules (ECM’s) on the opposite side of the firewall. Protect the cable where it passes through the firewall by using a grommet or similar protective measures. Installing the VML750 at the end of the vehicle above the exhaust pipe may cause the VML750 to overheat. VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIR BAGS An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including communications equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If the communication equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, this could cause serious injury. If necessary, contact the vehicle manufacturer for air bag information specific to the vehicle. Verify that none of the vehicle’s systems are affected by use of the unit, e.g. cruise control, ABS breaking, traction control, engine management, direction indicators, lights, etc. 2-2 6802988C54-B July 2014 VML750 — LTE Vehicular Subscriber Modem (VSM) Installation Guide Planning the Installation Use existing openings through the firewall to avoid drilling. If drilling is a must, verify not to damage the Vehicle Electronic Control Modules (ECM’s), fuel lines, brake lines, and/or cable looms.

The following procedures are given: • Police patrol vehicle with a PSNB antenna and a standard BB antenna. • Bus with a PSNB antenna and a low profile BB antenna Police Patrol Vehicle Antennas Location Considerations — Overview ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ The antennas mounting location is selected individually for every vehicle before starting the actual installation process. The following list gives general recommendations for determining the mounting location of PSNB and BB antennas based on several key considerations: 6802988C54-B July 2014 • Keep a minimum distance of 7.87” (20 cm) between the LTE [BB] antennas; including WiFi to any other antenna and any potential bystander (for bystander safely). • Follow the guidelines in the installation and safety manuals of the LMR [PSNB] radios with regards to mounting locations and operation of radio in the presence of bystanders (for bystander safety). • Keep a minimum spatial separation of 78” (198 cm) between the PSNB and BB LTE antennas this separation provides a minimum of 35 dB isolation to reduce interferences. • Keep a minimum spatial separation of 36” (91.4 cm) between the two BB LTE (main and diversity) antennas for potential interference reduction and for optimal Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) and Maximum Ratio diversity Combining (MRC) performance.

Procedure C-1 Planning Antennas Location on a Police Patrol Vehicle C-2 Observe the existing antennas. Draw an imaginary 36” (91.4 cm) radius circles around the existing antennas. 6802988C54-B July 2014 VML750 — LTE Vehicular Subscriber Modem (VSM) Installation Guide Planning Antenna Mounting Location on a Police Patrol Vehicle Procedure C-1 Planning Antennas Location on a Police Patrol Vehicle (Continued) 6802988C54-B Draw imaginary lines 7.8” (20 cm) from both sides of the vehicle's roof and trunk cover. Plan mounting the antennas on areas determined by step 2 and 3 i.e. not closer than 36” (91.4 cm) to any existing antenna and at least 7.8” (20 cm) from the vehicle sides. Plan the antennas mounting locations, taking into account the available coaxial cables length. If possible, plan mounting the PSNB antenna on the vehicle's trunk cover. Define the Diversity BB antenna location on the vehicle's roof with a minimum direct distance of 78” (198 cm) from the PSNB antenna. If a PSNB antenna is not required, plan mounting the Diversity/WiFi antenna on the vehicle’s trunk cover. Define the Main BB antenna location on the vehicle's roof with a minimum distance of 36” (91.4 cm) to the Diversity BB antenna and of 78” (198 cm) to the PSNB antenna. It is recommended to install the main antenna on the center line at the front side of the vehicle's roof. Some vehicles may already have a PSNB antenna mounted. For these vehicles, it is recommended to reinstall the PSNB antenna on the vehicle's trunk cover. July 2014 C-3
