Installing Mobile Radio and Antenna
CAUTION:
Prevent possible personal injury. Disconnect battery ground cable before any electrical repair.
Remove existing entertainment radio bezel to gain access to power leads (E) and antenna cable (B).
Power leads are pre-installed, locate red wire #272 for switch operation. Should radio operation require battery power at all times, use red wire #262. Black wire is mobile radio ground.
Connect antenna cable to radio. Remove rain cap on outer roof and attach non-ground plane type antenna to the mount. Antenna mount is 1-1/8 in. - 24 thread. The cable connector for radio is a PL259 type. Adapters are available through radio equipment suppliers.
NOTE:
Antenna should be trimmed to appropriate variable standing wave ratio (VSWR). A professional installer is recommended.
Install the radio bezel after the mobile radio cable and wires are routed.
