WARNING
Interference with Vehicular Electronics - Electronic fuel injec-
tion systems, electronic anti-skid braking systems, electronic
cruise control systems, etc., are typical of the types of electronic
devices which may be prone to malfunction due to the lack of
protection from radio frequency energy present when transmit-
ting. If the vehicle contains such equipment, consult the dealer
for the make of the vehicle and enlist his aid in determining if
such electronic circuits will perform normally when the radio is
transmitting.
The accompanying illustrations should help you in your installation.
PLANNING THE INSTALLATION
Before starting, plan your installation carefully so that it will be:
Safe for the operator and passengers in the vehicle.
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Safe to operate within easy reach of controls and microphone.
Protected from damage from water.
Easy for the serviceman to service.
Oriented to minimize refections in LCD display.
Neat
Out of the way of auto mechanics.
EQUIPMENT REQUIRED
The equipment required for installing the radio is:
Electric Drill
•
No. 31 (1/8-inch) drill for No. 8 screws
•
•
•
•
•
•
No. 27 (9/64-inch) drill for No. 10 screws
Phillips screwdriver
Crimp tool for terminals and antenna connector.
No. 20 TORX® driver or 1/4-inch HEX driver for mounting radio
5/8-inch punch or hole saw for rubber grommet
It is suggested that you take advantage of the experience of one of themany
authorized General Electric Service Stations located throughout the United
States by having them install the equipment.

CAUTION
Be careful to avoid damaging some vital part (fuel tank, trans-
mission housing, etc.) of the vehicle when drilling mounting
holes. Always check to see how far the mounting screws will
extend below the mounting surface before installing.

INSTALLATION IN VEHICLES POWERED BY
LIQUEFIED (LP) GAS
WARNING
Radioinstallations in vehicles poweredbyliquefiedpetroleumgas
must conform to the following requirements.
Radio installations in vehicles powered by liquefied petroleum gas with
the LP-gas container in the trunk or other sealed-off space within the interior
of the vehicle must conform to the National Fire Protection Association
Standard NFPA 58 which requires that:
Space containing radio equipment shall be isolated by a seal from the
space containing the LP-gas container and its fitting.
•
Outside filling connections shall be used for the LP-gas container.
•
•
The LP-gas container space shall be vented to the outside of the
vehicle.

RUNNING CABLES
To assure feasibility of the cable routing you plan to use, it is suggested
that you run the cables before mounting the equipment. Be sure to leave some
slack in the cables going to the equipment so that the equipment may be pulled
out for servicing with the power applied and antenna attached.
Try to route the cables away from locations where they will be exposed to
heat (exhaust pipes, mufflers, tailpipes, etc.), battery acids, sharp edges or
mechanicaldamage, or where theywillbea nuisance toautomobilemechanics,
the driver or passengers. Keep wiring away from electronic computer mod-
ules, other electronic modules and ignition circuits to help prevent interference
to these components and radio equipment.
In addition, try to utilize existing holes in the firewall and trunkwall and
the channels above and beneath the doors. You may also use the channel
through door and window columns, where they are convenient for running
cables, unless you plan to install rigid or flexible conduit in which to run the
cables.
POWER AND IGNITION CABLES
The Power Cable consists of a red lead, an orange lead, a black lead, a 3
pin systems plug, and a set of fuses and fuse holders to be installed (See Figure
3).
ToinstallthePowerCable,startwiththeplugendofthe cableat the location
of the radio and run the three leads to the firewall, drill a 5/8 inch hole and
insert a rubber grommet (customer supplied).
To install the fuses: 1)Cut off 12 to 18 inches from the red and orange
wires; 2) Strip back the insulation approximately 3/8 of an inch on each end
of the wires; 3) Insert the stripped end of each wire into the small opening at
the endofeachfuseholdersectionand crimp thewiretothefuseholdersection;
and 4) Place the fuse into the large section of the fuse holder and snap the large
end of the fuse holder to the small end of the fuse holder.
Connect the orange fused lead to the positive (+) battery terminal, and the
black to the negative (-) battery terminal. Always locate the fuse as close to
the battery as possible.
Connect the red lead to the ignition "on" sense point (preferably an
"Accessory" point on the fuse panel that is switched on when the ignition
switch is in the accessory position and in the "run" position). Locate the fuse
as close as possible to the accessory point.

NOTE
With some accessory points, the voltage only drops when the
ignition switch is in the START position. A connection point
should be used where the voltage is completely off when the
ignition switch is in the START position.
CAUTION
Certain problems may be encountered when accessory equip-
mentis connected totheignitionoraccessorylinesofthe vehicle,
where these lines may have large filter capacitors or a leakage
path present.
If the radio does not turn off within a reasonable amount of time
after the ignition is turned off, first try a different accessory or
ignition sense pick up point in the vehicle. Many vehicles have
more than one circuit that is switched by the ignition switch, and
one may be available that does not have large filter capacitors or
a leakage path present.
If a different pickup point cannot be found, then add a 470-ohm
1-watt resistor from the ignition sense pickup point to ground.
This will dischargethecapacitor(s) or reduce the leakage voltage
toa low value. Currentdrainthroughthisresistorwill beminimal
(less than 0.03A) when the ignition is switched on.

Coil up the surplus cables and securethem out of theway with theretaining
strap provided. Be sure to leave some slack in the cables going to the radio so
that it may be pulled out for servicing with power applied.
Figure 4 - Mounting Dimensions
INSTALLING THE RADIO
Mount the radio so that the controls are within reach of the operator. Use
the mounting bracket as a template to locate the holes, and mount the radio as
shown in Figure 5. Be sure to leave enough room at the rear of the radio for
cable connections.

MICROPHONE CONNECTIONS
Normally, the microphone is shipped connected to the microphone jack on
the bottom of the radio. A cable clamp is used for strain relief and is attached
to the bottom of the radio using a M4-0.7x8 Hex Head screw.
Figure 6 - Microphone Connection and Strain Relief
MICROPHONE BRACKET
Mount the magnetic microphone bracket where it will be within easy reach
of the operator, but will not interfere with safe operation of the vehicle. Refer
to Figure 7 for bracket dimensions. The microphone must be placed in the
hanger so that the cord end of the mike housing is over the magnet assembly.
To mount the bracket, drill three No. 32 (1/8-inch) pilot holes, and use the No.
8 x 5/8 screws supplied with the bracket.
NOTE
The magnetic hookswitch must be used with Channel Guard
applications.

ANTENNA
Installation instructions for the antenna are packaged with the antenna. The
antenna must be installed in accordance with good engineering practices for
optimum results.
A permanent mount type of antenna should be located in the center of the
roof or rear deck. Glass mounted antennas should be kept as high as possible
in the center of the rear window. Some states have laws restricting vision
obstructing items from the window. Be familiar with local laws before install-
ing glass mount antennas.
Try to route the cable away from locations where it will be exposed to heat,
sharp edges or mechanical damage, and where it will be out of the way of the
driver, passengers, or vehicle mechanics. Wherever possible, existing holes in
the trunk wall, and the channels above or beneath doors and window columns
should be utilized.
Avoid routing the antenna cable near any electronic modules or along side
any vehicle wiring.
Connect the antenna cable to the TNC connector on the radio.
CAUTION
In station applications, the radio may not operate properly with
the antenna mounted near the radio. Always mount the antenna
at least 5 feet from the radio.
