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.

Cables Routing
Cables Routing
•
Before running a wire or drilling a hole, inspect the vehicle and determine how and where
you intend to mount the antenna, modem, and the input/output device.
•
Plan wire and cable routing to provide maximum protection from overheating,
battery acid, moving parts and sharp edges.
•
Keep cables away from ignition circuits to reduce noise pickup in the radio equipment.
•
Verify that the cables are of sufficient length. Do not connect two short lengths with
a splice; doing so results in power loss. Refrain from loose excess in the cables,
but leave enough slack to allow re-connection if necessary.
•
Do not run cables externally or underneath floor mats.
•
Do not locate cables where the driver or passengers can kick them or where they
can interfere with operation of the driver’s foot pedals.
•
When routing the cables, refrain from creating sharp bends or kinks.
For detailed antenna cables routing instructions, refer to the Installation
Guide supplied with each antenna.
Drilling Holes
•
Where possible, use existing holes in the firewall, the trunk wall and the
channels above or beneath the doors.
•
If you must drill holes, verify not to damage other wiring, break lines or fuel lines.
•
When drilling a hole in the roof, take care not to snag the roof liner.
•
To prevent rusting after drilling, remove all metal burrs and residue, and completely
clean the area to ensure the removal of all steel dust.
•
Insert rubber grommets in all drilled holes to protect cables, except for antennas cables.

Procedure 2-1
Special Antennas Installation Considerations
How to Mount the Antennas
Mount the antennas in accordance with the instructions provided with each antenna
kit and with the “Product Safety and RF Energy Exposure Booklet for Mobile
Two-Way Radios Installed in Vehicles or as Fixed Site Control Stations” enclosed
with the VML750 LTE VSM (Motorola Publication part number 6881095C99).
Special Antennas Installation Considerations
General Antenna Installation Safety Considerations
The Private LTE, Commercial LTE and WiFi antennas must be installed
in a location that will ensure a distance of at least 8” (20 cm) between
any of them and any bystander.
If your vehicle is equipped with PSNB (Public Safety Narrow Band) equipment,
special attention must be taken when installing the antennas. A minimum
distance of 78” (198 cm) must be kept between the PSNB antenna and any
VML750 antenna in order to ensure coexistence between all systems.
Main Antenna
The antenna must be installed on a flat metal surface (minimum size 24” (61 cm) x 24” (61 cm)).
The Private network main antenna (when applicable) and the Public network main antenna
must be installed on the vehicle’s roof, preferably in the center front side of it. Make
sure that the vehicle roof material is metal. If not, use a 2 ft x 2 ft metal ground plane
and mount the antenna in its center. For best performance, a minimum distance of 36”
(91.44 cm) must be kept between this antenna and any other antenna.

Appendix
LTE & LMR Antennas Mounting
Recommendations
This appendix provides procedures for determining the mounting locations for a Public Safety Narrow
Band (PSNB) LMR 700/800MHz antenna and Broad Band (BB) LTE 700MHz antennas.
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

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:

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 (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.
