Dash Mount Configuration
ra
ft
In the dash mount configuration of the mobile radio, the control head is mounted on the front of the
transceiver housing. Electrical connection between the two takes place within the radio via a flexible
cable between the connectors on the front of the transceiver and at the back of the control head.
Figure 1-4 Dash Mount Configuration
1.2.1
For details on this configuration, see Section 2.2.1 on page 2-4.
Chapter 2 Installation Details for Standard
Configurations
2.1
Planning the Installation
The mobile radio operates only in negative ground electrical systems. Before starting the radio
installation, make sure that the ground polarity of the vehicle is correct. Accidentally reversing the
polarity will not damage the radio, but will cause the cable fuses to blow.
Planning is the key to fast, easy radio installation. Before starting the installation, inspect the vehicle
and determine how and where you intend to mount the antenna, radio, and accessories. Plan wire
and cable runs to provide maximum protection from pinching, crushing, and overheating.
Caution
Tools Required for Installation

Caution
Caution
Caution
DO NOT mount the radio on a plastic dashboard without first reinforcing the dashboard; the weight of
the radio may crack or break the dashboard.
DO NOT mount the radio on a flat or concave surface where the radio could be partially submersed in
water. This is especially important if the cab area of the vehicle is cleaned by spraying with water. If the
radio sits in water for a length of time, moisture may seep inside the radio and damage the electronic
components.
DO NOT allow water to stand in recessed areas of vertically mounted radios. Remove any moisture
immediately to prevent it from seeping down into the radio.
The mounting location must be accessible and visible. Select a location that will permit routing the
RF antenna cable as directly as possible.
ft
For new or existing installations, use one of the mounting kits as specified in Table 2-1. Orient the
mounting trunnion as shown in Figure 2-3.

1. Select the location to mount your radio on the transmission hump (see Figure 2-4) or under
the dash (see Figure 2-5). When mounting the trunnion on the transmission hump take care
the transmission housing is not affected.
2. Using the trunnion mounting bracket as a template, mark the positions of the holes on the
mounting surface. Use the innermost four holes for a curved mounting surface such as the
transmission hump, and the four outermost holes for a flat surface such as under the dash.
3. Center punch the spots you have marked and realign the trunnion in position.
4. Secure the trunnion mounting bracket with the self-drilling screws provided. The number of
screws used will depend on how the radio is mounted (see Figure 2-4 and Figure 2-5).

Installation Details for Standard Configurations Ignition Sense Cable
Ignition Sense Cable
Motorola supplies an ignition sense cable and recommends that it be used with every mobile
installation. The ignition sense cable allows the radio to be turned on and off with the vehicle ignition
switch, and allows the radio to “remember” the state of the radio on/off switch, even if it is changed
while the vehicle is off.
• For radio ON/OFF control independent of the ignition switch, connect the red ignition cable (pin
10 of accessory connector) to “battery hot” at the vehicle fuse block.
• For radio ON/OFF control via the ignition switch, connect the red ignition cable to “ignition” at
the fuse block.
The ignition sense cable uses either a 3-Amp (P/N 6500139764) or 4-Amp (P/N 6580283E02) fuse.
For other considerations when connecting the ignition cable, see the MOTOTRBO CM 2300/2500

Antenna Installation
ft
IMPORTANT NOTE: To assure optimum performance and compliance with RF Energy Safety
standards, these antenna installation guidelines and instructions are limited to
metal-body vehicles with appropriate ground planes and take into account the
potential exposure of back seat passengers and bystanders outside the
vehicle.
Selecting an Antenna Site/Location on a Metal Body Vehicle
1. External Installation - Check the requirements of the antenna supplier and install the vehicle
antenna external to a metal body vehicle in accordance with those requirements.
2.5.1
ra
NOTE: For mobile radios with rated power of 7 watts or less, the only installation restrictions are to
use only Motorola approved antennas and install the antenna externally on metal body
vehicles. For mobile radios with rated power greater than 7 Watts, always adhere to all the
guidelines and restrictions in Section 2.5.1 below.
2. Roof Top - For optimum performance and compliance with RF Energy Safety Standards,
mount the antenna in the center of the roof.
3. Trunk Lid - On some vehicles with clearly defined, flat trunk lids, the antennas of some radio
models (see restrictions below) can also be mounted on the center area of the trunk lid. For
vehicles without clearly defined, flat trunk lids (such as hatchback autos, sport utility vehicles,
and pick-up trucks), mount the antenna in the center of the roof.
BEFORE INSTALLING AN ANTENNA ON THE TRUNK LID,
- Be sure that the distance from the antenna location on the trunk lid will be at least
85 cm (33 in.) from the front surface of the rear seat-back to assure compliance with RF
Energy Safety standards.
- Ensure that the trunk lid is grounded by connecting grounding straps between the trunk lid
and the vehicle chassis.
NOTE: If these conditions cannot be satisfied, then mount the antenna on the roof top.
4. Mounting restrictions for certain radio models - For all VHF and UHF models with the
output power set to 30 watts or higher, the ¼ wave antenna shall be mounted only in the
center area of the roof, not on the trunk lid, to assure compliance with RF Energy Safety
standards.
Installation Details for Standard Configurations Antenna Installation

5. Ensure the antenna cable can be easily routed to the radio. Route the antenna cable as far
away as possible from the vehicle electronic control units and associated wiring.
6. Check the antenna location for any electrical interference.
7. Make sure the mobile radio antenna is installed at least 30 centimeters (1 foot) away from any
other antenna on the vehicle.
NOTE: Any two metal pieces rubbing against each other (such as seat springs, shift levers, trunk and
hood lids, exhaust pipes, etc.) in close proximity to the antenna can cause severe receiver
interference.

Antenna Installation Procedure
1. Mount the antenna according to the instructions provided with the antenna kit. Run the
coaxial cable to the radio mounting location. If necessary, cut off the excess cable and install
the cable connector.

1. Make sure that there is sufficient slack in the antenna cable.
2. Make sure that the collar of the antenna cable plug is loose and does not bind.
3. Slide the collar back against the flange. Insert the antenna cable plug’s pin fully into the radio
jack, but do not engage the threads.
4. Ensure that the plug’s and jack’s interlocking features are fully seated. Check this by grasping
the crimp on the cable jack, rotating the cable, and noting any movement. If the features are
seated correctly, there should be NO movement.
5. Finger-tighten the antenna cable plug’s collar onto the radio’s jack.
6. Give a final tug, by hand, to the collar, and retighten by hand as firmly as possible.
7. Use the rubber-coated pliers to grip the plug’s knurled collar, then turn clockwise to tighten
the collar. It should take 1/4 turn or less. Turning counterclockwise loosens the collar.
NOTE: Overtightening the collar can damage the connector and the radio.

Chapter 4 Best Practices: Installation & Troubleshooting
In this section are Motorola recommended vehicle installation practices that can address or prevent
many issues, including:
• Radio circuit damage due to over voltage condition
• Radio/Accessories "lock up"
• Radio/Accessories change state/lock-up when radio PTT is depressed
• Radio intermittently resets
• Alternator whine present when transmitting with engine running
• Radio/Accessories turn themselves on/off
Check Wiring of Ignition and Radio Ignition Sensing
ft
• If it is required to turn the radio on and off via the ignition sense switch, in addition to the control
head’s on/off switch, connect the ignition sense lead to the accessory terminal from the ignition
switch (usually in the vehicle’s fuse panel under accessory or radio).
ra
NOTE: Motorola recommends protecting or isolating the radio’s ignition sense input from voltage spikes
in excess of +/- 40 VDC. Such spikes can be hundreds of volts in amplitude and are common in
larger vehicles (utility trucks, buses and etc.), especially when the source is common to a
solenoid coil. A triggerable oscilloscope is required to determine the existence of such spikes as
most voltmeters cannot measure in short duration (< 1 msec). If the condition of the intended
ignition sense source is unknown, Motorola recommends isolating the source from the radio with
a relay or the use of 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 parts, kit number HLN6325_.
4.1
• 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.
4-2
4.2
Best Practices: Installation & Troubleshooting
Check Physical Installation of Radio Ground and Radio Accessory
Wiring
• 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.
• 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.
• Do not coil up any excess length of the A+ (red) lead. Doing this may cause a large transient
voltage to be produced when there is a high current drain (e.g. during transmit). This could
cause the radio to reset when the push-to-talk (PTT) is depressed.
Improve the Electrical Quality of the Power and Ignition Lines
ra
• Use a relay to isolate the vehicle’s ignition switch point (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.
4.3
ft
• Do not coil up any excessive length of antenna cable, if possible. It may affect the radio’s
receive performance.
• 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%.

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
The state of your radio prior to needing a jump-start may be unknown, and the radio may attempt to
return to its last state (radio ON), when doing a jump-start. Therefore, Motorola recommends the
following steps be taken before jump-starting any vehicle containing a radio.
1. Locate the ignition sense line and the main power leads (thick red wire) near the battery
positive terminal.
NOTE: These lines are fused. In the event these lines are not fused (add the appropriate fuse in line)
use whatever tools necessary to physically disconnect the ignition sense and power lines
from the battery terminal.
2. Open up the fuse holders and remove the fuses out of the kits.
ft
3. Re-tighten the fuse holders but without the fuses to insure that ignition sense and power lines
do not interfere with any moving parts.
4. Proceed with the jump-start routine as described by your vehicle owner’s manual.
Eliminate Noise/Howling from PA Speaker
1. Refer to Section 2.1.2 for recommended methods of installation available for the mobile
two-way radio, with accessories placed to the vehicle as desired.
2. Refer to Figure 2-2 for the wiring diagrams for the recommended configurations.
