Part No. 001-9800-001
2.1.3 TRANSCEIVER PROGRAMMING
The transceiver needs to be programmed before it 
is placed in service unless it was ordered as factory 
programmed. Programming instructions are located in 
the manuals listed in Section 1.1.1. Transceivers are 
normally shipped with preprogrammed factory test 
channels and test parameters. 
2.1.4 REQUIRED POWER SOURCE
This transceiver is designed for installation in 
vehicles which have a nominal 12-volt, negative 
ground electrical system (negative battery terminal 
connected directly to the chassis). If the vehicle has 
some other type of electrical system, a voltage 
converter is required.
2.2 MOUNTING THE TRANSCEIVER
2.2.1 SELECTING A MOUNTING LOCATION
Front mount transceivers are designed for 
mounting in a location within convenient reach of the 
operator such as the dash, console, or floor. Remote 
mount models are designed for mounting in a remote 
location such as under a seat or in the trunk that is up 
to 6 feet (or up to 17 feet with optional extension 
cable) from the control unit.
WARNING
The mounting location of the transceiver or control 
unit can affect safe operation of the vehicle. Follow 
these precautions when mounting this transceiver:
Mount it where it does not interfere with operation 
of the vehicle controls.
Mount it where the operator can easily see the 
display and reach the controls.
Mount it where it will be least likely to cause injury 
in case of an accident.
Airbags deploy with great force. Therefore, do not 
mount it anywhere near the deployment area. In 
addition, do not place any other objects in the 
deployment area.
2.2.2 INSTALLATION COMPONENTS
The following mounting kits are used to install 
the transceiver. These components and other compo-
nents are shown in Figure 2-1.
Mounting Kit, Part No. 023-9800-030
Two tri-knobs for attaching the transceiver to the 
mounting bracket
Four No. 10 self-drilling screws
Universal Cable and Hardware Kit 
Part No. 023-9800-410 (10 ft)
Part No. 023-9800-422 (22 ft)
10 ft or 22 ft fused power cable
Microphone clip and ground wire
One 7A and one 15A fuse (7A not used)
2.2.3 ATTACHING MOUNTING BRACKET
Either Standard Mounting Bracket, Part No. 017-
2229-005, or Low Profile Mounting Bracket, Part No. 
017-2229-010, can be used to mount the transceiver. 
Proceed as follows:
1. Check the area underneath the selected mounting 
surface for such things as wires, electrical compo-
nents, and brake and gas lines that could be 
damaged when the mounting bracket screws are 
installed. Then install the mounting bracket using 
the included self-tapping screws or other screws if 
desired.
2. Install the transceiver in the bracket using the 
included knobs.
3. With front mount transceivers, install the included 
microphone hanger in a convenient location using 
the included sheet metal screws or others. For 
proper operation of functions such as the monitor 
mode and scan, the hanger must be connected to 
chassis ground. If required, ground the hanger using 
the included ground wire.
