Amplifier.
CONTROL UNIT MOUNTING
Mount the control unit within convenient reach of the operator, and where
it will not interfere with the safe operation of the motorcycle. A typical
control unit, microphone, and speaker mounting is shown in Figure 2.
Due to the large number of different motorcycle makes and models, i t is up
to the installer to decide how to mount the control unit, radio, and optional
equipment. Guidelines are provided for planning the installation.
The use of customer-designed "U" brackets, "L" brackets, mounting plates,
backing plates, or optional mounting kits from the motorcycle
manufacturer, if available, are suggested for mounting the control unit,
microphone, adaptor plate, weatherproof case, and radio. Existing bolts in
the frame and handlebar assembly may be utilized to mount the brackets
and mounting plates to the motorcycle.
Bracket material should be 1/8-inch steel minimum. When designing and
mounting the brackets, the following guidelines should be considered:
• The installation must NOT interfere with steering or operation of
the motorcycle.
• Mounting locations must NOT interfere with the driver or with
Instrument visibility.
• The installation should provide easy access to the radio operating
controls.
Be careful to avoid damaging some vital part of the
motorcycle if it becomes nessary to drill mounting holes.
Also, always check to see how far t he mounting screws
will extend below the mounting surface before installing
CAUTION
After installing the control unit, do not make any cable connections until
all cables have been run and secured, and the speaker and any option
connections have been made to the vehicle system plug. Speaker and
option connections are shown on the Interconnection Diagrams listed in
the Table of Contents. A typical control unit installation is shown in Figure
3.

After all cables are installed, refer to the Control Unit Interconnection
Diagrams in back of this manual for final connections to the control unit,
and for instructions to install the cable entrance cover kit.

TWO-WAY RADIO MOUNTING
The installation of the two-way radio consists of:
• Mounting the base mounting plate to the motorcycle,
• Installing the radio mounting bracket in the weatherproof case,
• Installing the radio on the mounting bracket, and
• Connecting the power/control cable, cable ground lead, and
antenna lead once they have been installed.
• Modifying the RANGR radio for motorcycle installation, if
required.
POWER CONSIDERATIONS
The motorcycle may be equipped with additional lights, light flashers,
sirens, PA systems, etc. Therefore, consideration must be given to the
system current drain. It is recommended that the radios be set for the
applicable power output and current drain shown in Table 1 for all
RANGR motorcycle applications.
Do NOT use a high-powered radio in the motorcycle
application. To do so will result in damage to the
motorcycle alt ernat or, battery, and all circuits.
WARNING
MOUNTING THE RADIO
To install the radio in the weatherproof case:
Assembling the Weatherproof Box
1. Unpack the weatherproof motorcycle box, remove the key from the bag
attached to the bottom and open the box.
2. Remove the hardware kit (plastic bag), the bottom radio
mounting plate (19D903778P1) from the box by removing the
four 10-32 X 5/8” screws. The bottom mounting plate is the
smaller of the two. This will be installed in subsequent steps.

3. Insert the large rubber grommet into the metal cable cutout and slide
the cable cutout w/ grommet into the slot on the bottom of the
weatherproof box. Secure with the two 1/4 X 20 machine screws a nd
locking nuts provided. See Figure 4.
4. Insert the two smaller grommets into the two holes adjacent to the
cable cutout.
5. Remove the backing from the plastic wire holder. Locate a position on
the opposite side of the case from the cable cutout approximately 3/4inch from and parallel with the front and 2.5 inches from the outside
edge. Press the holder into position.
When installing the ground straps, be sure they are
dressed in such a way that they will not get pinched
between the mounting plate and the weatherproof box
when the shock absorbers are fully compressed.
NOTE
6. Install the four 4-inch radio ground straps (provided) with the
weatherproof case mounting screw through the ring terminal. The flat
side of the ring terminal should be face down.

SERVICE TIP
After installation, force full compression of the shock
absorbers and observe the ground straps. If necessary
redress the ground straps to a position that allows full
compression without pinching. (Clearance is reduced
from 5/8” to approximately 1/4”.)
