HANDS-FREE INSTALLATION

Before beginning the installation process, determine the best locations for the mounting of the Mounting Bracket, Hand-free Cradle, Push-To-Talk (PTT) button, Visor Microphone, Speaker and Junction Box.
Consider the following guideline when planning the installation:

  • Do use all mounting hardware provided.
  • Do ensure that cables are not placed under stress.
  • Do follow proper and – connections.
  • Do crimp connectors securely.
  • DO NOT attach components to any part of the vehicle that is not rigid or is subject to excessive vibration.
  • DO NOT install components in areas where rain or snow can easily get into them, such as next to a vehicle window, which may be left open.
  • DO NOT dress cables over sharp edges that could cause wear or tearing of cable insulation.
  • DO NOT install components in locations where they might interfere with the vehicle operator or operating controls.
  • Do NOT install the f.1ands-free Cradle where it will be difficult for the operator to reach.

WARNING
VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIR BAGS
An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including communications equipment. in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If the communication equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, this could cause serious injury.
It is recommended that the installation of the vehicle communication equipment be performed by a profes­sional installer/technician trained in the requirements for such installations. An air bag’s size, shape and deployment area can vary by vehicle make, model. and front compartment configuration [for example, bench seat vs. bucket seats]. Contact the vehicle manufactur­er’s corporate headquarters, if necessary, for specific air bag information for the vehicle make, model. and front compartment configuration involved in your communication equipment installation.

Diagram 1

SPEAKER INSTALLATION

  1. Mount the Speaker beneath the dashboard, on the passenger’s side of the vehicle, out of the way of the passenger. Do not mount the Speaker on the dashboard or the rear window shelf
  2. The Speaker should be located more than four feet from the junction box.
  3. The Speaker includes a mounting bracket. permitting it to be mounted in a variety of ways. Loosen the thumbscrews on the side of the speaker and using the mounting bracket as a template, drill the necessary mounting holes and secure the bracket with the self-tapping screws provided.
  4. Position the Speaker on the mounting bracket and secure it by tightening the thumbscrews. The mounting bracket is used to permanently mount the Speaker in place while permitting it to be tilted to a desired angle.
  5. Feed the cable out of sight to the location where you intend to mount the junction box.
  6. The speaker should be located at least 3 ft [1ml from the visor microphone. Avoid placing the speaker where it faces the visor microphone.

Diagram 2

MICROPHONE INSTALLATION

  1. The Microphone supplied has noise cancellation features and as such the selection of the correct position for the microphone is vital for the successful performance of the Car Kit
  2. The Microphone should be mounted either on the sun visor directly above and facing the driver, or on the headliner just above and facing the driver.
  3. The visor microphone has a noise canceling feature and must be mounted facing the driver as shown in the picture above.
  4. To avoid visual or physical obstruction, route the microphone cable down inside the door molding. Allow sufficient slack on the connector end of the cable to reach the Junction Box.
  5. Feed the cable to the location where you intend to mount the junction box.

Note: The microphone should not be mounted near a window or in a spot where road and ambient background noise would be substantially high (above 85d8 SPL).

Diagram 3

MOUNTING OF THE PTT

  1. To attach the PTT to the gear lever, strap the PTT around the gear lever using the Velcro strip attached, with the cord facing down.
  2. To attach the PTT to a flat surface, remove the 2 screws from the bottom of the PTT, which holds the Velcro strip in place. Remove the strips and replace the small plastic part that held the strips in place with the larger flat plastic part supplied with the PTT Screw the new plastic part in place.
  3. Feed the cable out of sight to the location where you intend to mount the junction box.

Caution! Make sure there is sufficient slack in the cable to allow the free movement of the gear lever without stretching the PTT cable.

Diagram 4

INSTALLING THE POWER CABLE

Caution! The Car kit should be used with a negative ground electrical system only. Reverse polarity [positive ground) will trigger protection circuits which cause the cable fuse to open. Check the ground polarity before you begin the installation to prevent wasted time and effort. 12V DC or 24V DC automotive systems are directly supported. Determine the best cable route to the vehicle ignition for the Power Cable from the location where you intend to mount the Junction Box.

  1. Route the black lead of the main power cable to a convenient chassis ground and the red lead to the positive supply voltage connection point. If it is necessary to penetrate the firewall, try to use an existing opening.

  2. If there is no existing opening, drill a new hole approximately 8/16″ or 3.5cm in diameter. Make sure that there is clearance on the opposite side. Insert a grommet into the hole to prevent damage to the power cable. When making connections on the engine side of the firewall, additional in-line fuse holder [included) should be used at the connection points.
    Diagram 5 GREEN MUST GO TD IGNITION DR CONNECTED WITH RED

  3. Cut the black lead to the desired length.

  4. If the connection is being made under the dash or in the vehicle cabin, connect the black lead directly to the chassis of the vehicle.

  5. If the connection is being made in the engine compartment, connect the in-line fuse holder between the black lead of the power cable and the desired chassis connection point
    Note! Do not connect the black lead to the negative [-) battery terminal. The Car Kit could be damaged if there were a malfunction in the vehicle’s electrical system.

  6. Cut the red lead to the desired length. This lead will be connected such that it has positive supply voltage at all times, even when the vehicle is turned off.

  7. If the connection is being made under the dash or in the vehicle cabin, connect the red lead to a positive supply voltage point.

  8. If the connection is being made in the engine compartment or directly to the battery, connect the in-line fuse holder between the red lead of the power cable and the desired positive voltage connection point

  9. Route and connect the green lead to a convenient ignition switch supply point in the vehicle. If the green lead is not being connected to the ignition, it MUST be connected together with the red lead.

Note! An ignition switch accessory terminal can be verified by measuring the terminal while operating the vehicle’s key switch. With the ignition key in the “accessory ON” position, the terminal voltage should measure the vehicle’s battery voltage. With the switch in the “OFF” position, it should measure near zero

STEREO MUTE
If the vehicle’s stereo system supports an external muting feature, route and connect the orange wire to the car stereo system. Otherwise, the orange wire may be left unconnected and cut off or tied out of the way.

Note! The Car Kit supports an “Entertainment Mute” function when connected to a car stereo system that provides for external muting. This function is compatible with systems that mute the audio output when the control line is connected to ground.

CONNECTING CABLES TO JUNCTION BOX.

  1. Locate a position for the junction box beneath the dashboard on the passenger’s side of the vehicle or on the center side post between the front seats It must be protected from dirt and moisture and must be afforded adequate space for cooling. There must be sufficient space to allow for connection of all cabling.

  2. Do not mount the junction box at this stage. First connect the Microphone, PTT, Speaker, Power cable and Cradle Cable to their corresponding connections on the Junction Box as indicated in Diagram below
    Diagram 6

  3. After connecting the power cable’s connector to the Junction Box, cut in half the red wire attached to the fuse housing supplied. Cut the long red power lead to the desired length and connect [crimp) it to the one end of the wire to the fuse housing.

  4. Connect the other end of the wire from the red fuse housing to the positive(+) side of the ignition. The fuse housing can be secured in place by using a plastic tie or screw through the hole in the fuse’s plastic housing

  5. Mount the junction box in place using the 2 mounting screws supplied.
