INSTALLATION OF RADIO TRANSMITTING

EQUIPMENT

Special design considerations are incorporated into this vehicle’s

electronic system to provide immunity to radio frequency signals.

Mobile two-way radios and telephone equipment must be installed

properly by trained personnel. The following must be observed

during installation.
The positive power connection should be made directly to the

battery and fused as close to the battery as possible. The negative

power connection should be made to body sheet metal adjacent to

the negative battery connection. This connection should not be

fused.
Antennas for two-way radios should be mounted on the roof or the

rear area of the vehicle. Care should be used in mounting antennas

with magnet bases. Magnets may affect the accuracy or operation

of the compass on vehicles so equipped.

The antenna cable should be as short as practical and routed away

from the vehicle wiring when possible. Use only fully shielded

coaxial cable.
Carefully match the antenna and cable to the radio to ensure a low

Standing Wave Ratio (SWR).
Mobile radio equipment with output power greater than normal

may require special precautions.
All installations should be checked for possible interference be-

tween the communications equipment and the vehicle’s electronic

systems.
