The enclosure is mounted on the motorcycle with a universal mounting plate and shock and vibration
isolators. A large, braided ground-strap (installed between the mounting plate bolts and the
motorcycle frame) grounds the transceiver.
5.1.2
Control/Display Unit
All radio functions, except push-to-talk (PTT), are activated from the control head, which also is
weather-resistant. The control head and the external speaker are mounted for easy access near the
center of the handlebars. The control head is positioned for unobstructed viewing, and it may be
tilted on the horizontal axis for ease of viewing. The microphone cable port on the front of the control
head is plugged and is not used.
5.1.3
Control Head Cable
The control-head cable connects the control head to the transceiver. The cable is routed along the
motorcycle’s frame and has weather-resistant connections at both ends. Excess cable is coiled
under the transceiver inside the weather-resistant enclosure.
Each end of the cable is strain-relieved with jackscrews at the control head and the transceiver.
The cable is shielded to reduce the effects of radio frequency interference and ignition sense noise.

Installation Overview
5.2.1
General
5-3
All APX mobile radios are tested and inspected before shipment. It is, however, suggested that the
transmitter frequency, deviation, and power output be checked at the time of installation. It is the
license holder’s responsibility to ensure that the operating parameters of his station comply with
applicable laws governing radio communications equipment. For tests and alignment procedures,
refer to the appropriate service manual (refer to “Related Publications”.
Generally, the installation of the motorcycle radio takes place in the following parts:
• Mounting the universal mounting plate and related hardware at the rear of the motorcycle;
• Mounting the control head, speaker, microphone, and related hardware forward on the
motorcycle;
• Routing the power cable, control-head cable, speaker cable, and ignition sense cable to the
weather-resistant enclosure;
• Mounting the weather-resistant enclosure and radio chassis, and connecting the cables;

Motorcycle Radio Installation Installation Overview
Important Motorcycle Installation Hints
Consider the following when mounting the radio components:
• Excess lengths of control-head, power, ignition sense, and speaker cables must be routed in
the enclosure as shown in Figure 5-19.
• All components must be mounted securely in order to withstand the constant and sometimes
severe vibration experienced on a motorcycle.
• No cantilever action, which could cause severe vibration, should be generated in the mounting
hardware.
• The control head and microphone must be placed for ease of accessibility by the motorcycle
operator.
• Forward components (control head, microphone, and speaker) should not interfere with visual
or physical access to controls and instruments.
• Forward components should not interfere with the handling of the motorcycle.
• Cabling between the control head and the radio chassis should be run to minimize interference
with operator movements.

Motorcycle Radio Installation Installing the Universal Mounting Plate
Installing the Universal Mounting Plate
The universal mounting plate, supplied with the motorcycle radio, must be mounted on the
motorcycle first. It provides the base on which the weather-resistant enclosure is to be mounted.
The method used for mounting the plate depends on the make and model of the motorcycle and
whether the plate is mounted to a carrier or to the motorcycle chassis. After the plate has been
securely mounted to the motorcycle, mounting the weather-resistant enclosure onto the plate is
straightforward.
Figure 5-2 illustrates the universal mounting plate mounted to a motorcycle carrier. Since there are
so many makes and models of motorcycles and motorcycle carriers, it is impossible to give specific
step-by-step instructions for mounting the universal mounting plate. However, noting the following
considerations will aid in the installation procedure.
• A minimum of holes are predrilled into this plate as supplied. Mounting holes must be drilled as
required for the particular motorcycle on which the plate is being mounted.
• The universal mounting plate should be mounted on the motorcycle in such a manner that the
later mounting of the weather-resistant enclosure will not interfere with the motorcycle seat
back, with any other obstacles, or with the motorcycle operator. The enclosure may be
temporarily bolted to the universal
versal mounting plate and the unit positioned on the motorcycle to
ensure the above criteria are met.
ra
• To ensure a good grounding
nding path from the universal mounting plate to the motorcycle carrier or
frame, stainless steel
el lock washers must
mu be used with the mounting hardware in two areas to
score through the paint

Figure 5-2. Universal Mounting Plate Installation (Part of Radio Enclosure Kit)
Follow the procedures below to mount the universal mounting plate to the motorcycle
(see Figure 5-2).
1. Determine the mounting position for the mounting plate.
2. Determine whether stainless steel spacers are required for clearance in mounting the plate.
3. Drill four 9/32-inch holes in the mounting plate and the corresponding motorcycle carrier or
chassis for mounting the plate.
4. Attach the universal mounting plate to the motorcycle using four machine screws, eight lock
washers, and four nuts. Tighten screws securely. The lock washers must cut through the
paint on the plate and motorcycle carrier or frame to ensure a good ground path.

Installing the Speaker and Control Head
NOTE: To disable the internal speaker of the O2 Control Head, please refer to Section 2.5.1: “Internal
Speaker Disassembly” .
The control head mounting location and configuration is determined largely by the make and model
of motorcycle. Two different mounting configurations are described below. One involves mounting
the speaker and control head together as a unit using the combination speaker/control-head bracket
(shown in Figure 5-4) supplied by Motorola. Alternately, the control head may be mounted by itself
using a smaller control-head bracket supplied by Motorola. In this case, the speaker is mounted
elsewhere. This section outlines installation procedures for each configuration mentioned above.
The customer (or installer) is in the best position to determine the most appropriate mounting
configuration for the control head and speaker based on the particular motorcycle on which the
equipment is to be mounted.
When determining its location, position the control head so that it is clearly visible and
within easy reach of the motorcycle operator.

Handlebar Installation with Speaker and Control Head Mounted Together
Figure 5-4 illustrates the combination speaker/control head bracket. This combination bracket is
used only when the control head and speaker are to be mounted as a unit. Also illustrated in
Figure 5-4 is a handlebar-mounting bracket which may be required if the combination speaker/
control-head bracket cannot be easily mounted to the motorcycle. In this case the
handlebar-mounting bracket is mounted to the motorcycle, and the combination bracket is then
mounted to the handlebar-mounting bracket.

Provision has been made on the combination speaker/control-head bracket for mounting the
microphone hang-up clip. If that mounting is desired, the hang-up clip must be attached to the
bracket before installing the control head and speaker. See Section 5.6: “Installing the Microphone
Hang-Up Clip” for the hang-up clip procedure. Install the speaker and control head as described
below.
1. Determine the location where the speaker/control head is to be mounted. Consider how the
speaker/control-head bracket may be mounted, and whether or not a handlebar-mounting
bracket is needed. Take care to select a location that is not only mechanically convenient, but
is located for ease of operation.
NOTE: The angle at which the handlebar-mounting bracket or the speaker/control-head bracket is
mounted to the motorcycle determines the firing angle of the speaker.
2. If the handlebar-mounting bracket is needed, install it first.
3. Mount the speaker/control-head bracket, either directly to the motorcycle, or, if used, to the
handlebar-mounting bracket, using four stainless-steel machine screws, lock washers, and
nuts.

Some motorcycles provide a console for mounting radio equipment. This console is attached to the
top of the fuel tank. With the use of a mounting bracket, screws, nuts, and lock washers, the
combination speaker/control-head bracket can be mounted to this console. Figure 5-5 illustrates this
type of mounting.
The console attachment screws must be removed, and the console must be lifted slightly from the
fuel tank to gain access in order to attach mounting hardware, and to route cables later.
In this installation, the microphone (mic), mic hang-up bracket, and mic extension bracket will
interfere with handlebar travel.
Installation using this method is the same as in Section 5.4.1: “Handlebar Installation with Speaker

Handlebar Installation with Speaker and Control Head Mounted Separately
It may be necessary to use the smaller control head bracket (part number 07-80127N02) and mount
the speaker and microphone hang-up clip in another location on the motorcycle.
Before installing the control head using the bracket described above, the control-head end of the
control-head cable should be temporarily fastened to the control head, and the control head fastened
to its bracket. Motorola-supplied spacers and the mic-cable bracket are required to mount the control
head to the handlebar. This mic-cable bracket has holes to mount the microphone-cable connector.
Follow these procedures when mounting the smaller control-head bracket:
1. Determine the location at which the control head is to be mounted. Take care to choose a
location that is not only mechanically convenient, but is located for ease of operation.
2. Securely mount the Motorola-supplied spacers, mic-cable bracket, and small control-head
bracket to the handlebars.
3. Mount the 9-pin D-connector end of the motorcycle control-head cable to the mic-cable
bracket, using two machine screws, flat washers, and nuts. (Cable routing directions appear
later in this section.)
4. Attach the control-head end of the cable to the control head and tighten the locking screws on
the connector.

Other Hang-Up Clip Mounting
To mount the microphone hang-up clip in another location, a customer-supplied bracket may be
used. Suggested locations include the handlebars, fuel-tank console, or any location which provides
easy access to the microphone without blocking controls and indicators and without interfering with
motorcycle handling. See Figure 5-5, Figure 5-6, and Figure 5-7 for alternative microphone hang-up
clip mounting methods.
1. Fabricate a bracket, then secure it to the motorcycle.
2. Use two machine screws, lock washers, and nuts to secure the hang-up clip to the
customer-supplied bracket. Ensure that the microphone clip is DC grounded to the
motorcycle chassis (a grounding lug and strap are provided in the hang-up clip kit for this
purpose) – this is essential for proper radio operation.

5.11 Transceiver, Cabling and Multiplexer Installation
After the weather-resistant enclosure has been installed, the radio chassis (transceiver) is installed in
the enclosure and then appropriate cables are connected. However, before the transceiver can be
installed, the cabling must be properly positioned in the enclosure.
5.11.1 Installing Cabling in the Enclosure
Position the cabling in the weather-resistant enclosure as follows:
1. Run the speaker, power, control-head, and ignition sense cables into the enclosure.
2. Lay the excess cable length between
the radio mounting bosses in an S configuration as
be
shown in Figure 5-19. Do not coil any excess cable. Use the supplied tie wraps to bundle
cable as shown.

source from the radio with a relay or the use off a suppression
diode wired between the source
and ground. Any high current suppression diode (i.e. MR2535) with a breakdown voltage of
between 18 and 40 volts will suffice. A suitable diode kit is available from Motorola Solutions
parts, kit number HLN6325_.
• If it is required to have the radio power up only via the control head’s on/off switch, then connect
the ignition sense lead directly to the positive terminal of the battery. This will mean the ignition
sense will always be ignored and a re-wiring will be necessary in the future if the operator
chooses any ignition sense CPS setting.

• Take care to scrape away paint on the chassis at the place where the ground connection is to
be made, and try to keep the ground lead as short as possible.
NOTE: Some vehicles have dedicated ground points. If available, use the ground points for the radio
ground connection.
• Verify that the A+ lead (red) is connected directly to the positive terminal of the battery and
the ground lead (black) is connected to the vehicle’s chassis using as short of a length of
wire as is practical.
• For vehicles that have other types of electronic equipment installed (lights, flashers,
computers siren/PA and etc.), use a separate ground for the mobile radio equipment.
• Make sure that the mobile radio antenna is the minimum required distance (three feet) from
the mobile radio equipment to prevent radio frequency interference (RFI) from interfering
with the radio and/or accessories.
NOTE: If multiple radios/antennas are
ar installed, ensure that the minimum antenna separation
requirements are met.

Improve the Electrical Quality of the
he Power
Powe and Ignition Lines
• Use a relay to isolate the vehicle’s ignition switch
h point
po
poin (ACC) from the radio’s ignition sense
point. Control this relay from the vehicle’s ignition switch point (ACC). Supply a cleaner
voltage from the positive terminal of the battery into the relay, which will now be attached to
the radio’s ignition sense point. Now the ACC line toggles the relay, instead of directly
toggling the radios ignition sense line.
• Install a Power Line Filter between the A+ lead and the positive terminal of the battery. This is
intended to filter the battery power applied to the transmitter power amplifiers. Pay extra
caution to this because the series filter will introduce a negative spike when the radio
transmits that may cause problems with radio operation.
• For vehicles that use electromechanical relays to control external devices (lights, motors,
switch boxes and etc.), these relay circuits should be isolated as best as possible from the
mobile radio equipment. Also, diode suppression should be used across the relay contacts to
minimize the noise produced by the collapsing magnetic field.
• If the ignition sense switch is to be used, make sure that there is not a large voltage drop
between the A+ point (usually the positive terminal of the battery) and the ignition sense
point. In general, the voltage difference between these two points, should not be greater than
1.5 volts when all accessories/air-conditioner, etc. are turned on. Refer to the Basic Service
Manual for specifications for minimum and maximum voltage levels. Typical battery voltage
levels are 13.6V +/- 20%.

Minimize the Effect of Poorly Grounded Antennas
• For vehicles with high power radios that use glass mount antennas, care must be taken to
keep the radio and antenna cable as far as possible from the radiating element of the
antenna. If a sufficient distance is not maintained, the glass mount antenna’s lack of a proper
ground plane may cause the radio’s transmit signal to interfere with itself and cause a reset.
To minimize this effect, it may be necessary to install ferrite beads on the antenna cable to
protect the radio from this interference.
7.5
Jump-Start the Vehicle
Do not jump-start vehicle with radio power or ignition sense cables connected.
Damage to the radio and/or accessories may result.
Caution
Jump-starting a motorcycle can crank 300+ volts through the vehicle’s charging system and these
transients can damage electrical
al equipment.
