INSTALLATION 2.1 MOUNTING HARDWARE INSTALLATION—ROOF MOUNT 2.1.1 General 2. l . I .l The installation procedure which follows is for a typical passenger car. The procedure may vary slightly with the type of vehicle on which the antenna is to be installed. Generally speaking, however, the proce» dures outlined are of a universal nature. NOTE The antenna should be mounted on a flat metal roof of .020 to .040 inch thickness. 2.1.1.2 First. select a location for the antenna as near the center of the roof as possible. 2.1.1.3 The headlining may be probed with the fingers to make sure that all points of obstruction are avoided. 2. l . 1 Installation Procedure— Single Wall Construction Step I . Locate the center of the roof by careful measure- ment, remove the headlining as necessary, and drill a pilot hole down through the roof. If the interior light of the car is centered in the roof. remove this light and fixture and drill the pilot hole up through the roof at about the center of the interior light mountings This centers the antenna mount on the roof and allows for easy access. Step 2. Drill a 3/4 " hole from the top of the roof until the saw bottoms, Use a Motorola hole cutting saw (OI-KUJSZAzsj or equivalent. When the saw bottoms on the roof, it cleans off the paint in a neat circle and assures good contact with the locking nut. IMPORTANT For proper seating of bushing assembly, remove burrs and scrape any foreign matter from underside of hole out to at least l/3 ” from edge. Step 3. Remove the molding which secures the headlin- ing in the rear quarter of the car on the side on which the radio set is installed, NOTE To insure ease of assembly, thread the lock- ing nut on and then off the bushing assembly before installation, This removes any burrs which may be present. Step 4. See Figure 4. From the top. feed the RG-SSA/U lead-in cable between the headlining and the metal roof. and into the trunk. Then take up the slack from the trunk end of the cable. Step 5. See Figure 5. The bushing assembly is now in a position to drop into the hole in the roof. It should be tilted at a slight angle and led into the 3/4" hole. The threaded top will not fall through the hole. Step 6. See Figure 6. Hold the antenna bushing assembly in place with the index finger and thread the locking nut onto it as shown. Step 7. Pull up on the bushing assembly as illustrated in Figure 7, and make sure it is centered and seated (both shoulders inside the drilled hole), and that the “O" ring is in the groove in the locking nut. (As fumished, the “O“ ring has been placed in the locking nut groove and im- bedded in silicone grease). Tighten the locking nut until it bottoms firmly against the roof top, NOTE See Figure 2. lf the bushing assembly should slip or rotate for any reason during the tighten- ing procedure. insen the tips of a long nose plier or spanner wrench into the two holes in the bushing assembly and apply force to pre- vent rotation until the locking nut is tight. The locking nut must come into contact with the car roof to insure the proper antenna radiation pattern. This can only happen when the rubber “O” ring is fully compressed. Step 8. Take up the slack in the cable and replace the headlining retainer molding. Step 9. Replace headlining and dome light if removed. MOBILE aUAflTER—WAVE ANTENNAS _§ AEPD— ‘238243 Figure 4.

Step 2. Drill a small pilot hole centered in the roof of the vehicle, The center of the cavity where the dome light was removed is sufficiently close. Step 3. Using a l'A " diameter hole saw cut a hole in the inside layer of the metal. Step 4, Remove the metal and fillet from this “A” diameter hole. Step 5, Complete the installation per installation pro» cedure given for vehicles with single wall construction, A completed mount is illustrated in Figure Sr 21.3.2 Vehicles Without Dome Lights When the vehicle has no dome light, and it is not feasible to remove the headlining to get to the inside surface, proceed as follows: Step l. Locate the center of the roof and make sure the area beneath this point is clear to allow passage of a drilli Step 2. With a 3/4 " diameter hole cutting saw carefully cut a 3/4” hole from the top of the roof through both thicknesses of metalr Clean the metal in a neat circle around the hole to assure a good contact between the roof metal and the locking nut. Step 3. Remove any burrs and remove the filler separating the roof thicknesses for a distance of 1/4 " back from the hole. Step 4A lnstall the mount to the outside roof thickness per installation procedure given for vehicles with single wall construction.

Typical Mounting Locations MOTOROLA RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MOBILE ANTENNA [OCATION The United States Department of Labor, through the provisions of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of l970 (OSHA). has established an electromagnetic safety standard which applies to the use of mobile radios Proper installation and use of this antenna will result in exposure below the OSHA Limitt Antennas must be installed at least two feet* (0.6 meter) from vehicle operators and passengers unless shielded by a metallic surface. Motorola recommends that mobile antennas be located as follows: Standard metal passenger vehicles .............. Center roof or center trunk lid Vans. pickups. and other light tmcks (metal roofs) ................................ Center roof Heavy duty equipment with metal roofs (heavy duty trucks. semi-tractors. heavy refuse trucks. cement mixer trucks) ............................... Center cab roof Specialty vehicles (such as T-rrmfs, sun roofs, or convertibles) ................................ Center truck lid Other vehicles ...... Contact your Motorola Field Technical Representative. Do not install closer than two feet or without proper antenna ground plane, (Gutter mount antennas are not recommended for transmitters of more than 6 watts.) *Motorcycle and Industrial Dispatcher radios — one foot (0.3 meter) for transmitters of 30 watts or less.
