Information for Vehicles with Electronic Anti-Lock/Anti-Skid Brakes
The following installation suggestions and test procedures are recommended for vehicles with electronic antilock/anti-skid brakes. Refer to your vehicle service manual for your vehicle’s braking system, or contact your
dealer directly.
Installation Warnings
Disruption of the anti-skid/anti-lock braking system by the radio transmitter may result in
unexpected vehicle motion.
!
WARNING
Installation Precautions
Motorola recommends the following radio installation precautions and vehicle braking
system test procedures to ensure that the radio , when transmitting, does not interfere with
the operation of the vehicle braking system.
1. Always provide as much distance as possible between the braking modulator unit and the radio, the radio
antenna, and associated transmission line. Before installing the radio, determine the location of the braking modulator unit in the vehicle. Depending on the make and model of the vehicle, the braking modulator
unit may be located in the trunk, under the dashboard, in the engine compartment, or in some other cargo
area. If you cannot determine the location of the braking modulator unit, refer to the vehicle service manual or contact a dealer for the particular make of the vehicle.
2. If the braking modular unit is located on the left side of the vehicle, install the radio on the right side of the
vehicle, and conversely.
3. Route all radio wiring, including the antenna transmission line, as far away as possible from the braking
modular unit and associated braking system wiring.
4. Never activate the radio transmitter while the vehicle is in motion and the vehicle trunk lid is open.
Braking System Tests
Be sure the following vehicle testing is done in an isolated area. The following procedure checks for the most
common types of interference that may be caused by a radio transmitter to a vehicle braking system:
1. Run the vehicle engine at idle speed and set the vehicle transmission selector to PARK. Release the brake
pedal completely and key the radio transmitter. While NOT speaking into the microphone, verify that there
are no unusual effects (visual or audible) to the vehicle lights, or other electrical equipment and accessories.
2. Repeat Step 1, except do so while speaking into the microphone.
3. Press the vehicle brake pedal slightly; just enough to illuminate the vehicle brake light(s). Then repeat
Steps 1 and 2.
4. Press the vehicle brake pedal firmly and repeat Steps 1 and 2.
5. Ensure that there is a minimum of two vehicle lengths between the front of the vehicle and any object in
the vehicle’s forward path. Then, set the vehicle transmission selector to DRIVE. Pres s the brake pedal
just far enough to stop the vehicle motion completely. Key the radio transmitter . Verify that the vehicle does
not start to move while NOT speaking into the microphone.
6. Repeat Step 5, except do so while speaking into the microphone.
7. Release the brake pedal completely and accelerate the vehicle to a speed between 15 and 25 miles (25
and 40 kilometers) per hour. Ensure that a minimum of two vehicle lengths is maintained between the front
of the vehicle and any object in the vehicle’s fo rwar d path. Have another person key the radio transmitter,
and verify that the vehicle can brake normally to a moderate stop while NOT speaking into the microphone.

8. Repeat Step 7, except do so while speaking into the microphone.
9. Release the brake pedal completely and accelerate the vehicle to a speed of 20 miles (30 kilometers) per
hour. Ensure that a minimum of two vehicle lengths is maintained between the front of the vehicle and any
object in the vehicle’s f orward path. Ha ve another person key the radio transmitter, and verify that the v ehicle can be braked properly to a sudden (panic) stop while NOT speaking into the microphone.
10. Repeat Step 9, except do so while speaking into the microphone.
11. Repeat Steps 9 and 10, except use a vehicle speed of 30 miles (50 kilometers) per hour.

Introduction
1.1 General Information
There are two methods of installing your mobile radio:
1. The standard radio package contains a direct mounting trunnion and power cables.
2. CM200/CM300 mobile radios ma y be mounted in the dashboard of a car using the required DIN
Mount Kit FTN6083.
An accessory connector on the rear of the radio (see Figure 4-1) enables you to attach different
accessories required for the installation.
A eight-pin telephone type connector on the front control head panel provides for the connection of
various types of microphones.
1
1.2 Plan the Installation
1. Mount the radio horizontally near the driver, so the driver can easily view, access, and operate
the controls and accessories.
2. Ensure that the location is not exposed to dirt and moisture.
3. Verify that there will be sufficient space around the mobile unit for air flow and installation.
4. Check that there is enough routing space for the power cable connector and the antenna coaxial
cable.
5. Plan the best place to run connections to minimize chafing, pinching, crushing, and overheating
of wires and cables.
CAUTION: In a vehicle with an airbag, make sure that the mounting location of the mobile
radio, or any radio accessory, is not in the deployment path of the air bag.

Chapter 2 DC Power Cable Installation
2.1 Planning the Power Cable Installation
CAUTION: This radio must be operated only in negative ground electrical systems.
Operating the radio on a positive ground system will cause the cable fuse to short-circuit.
Check the vehicle ground polarity before you begin the installation.
The 10 foot (3 m) DC power cable shipped with the radio should be long enough to be installed in
most vehicles. Take the following precautions before you begin:
• Whenever possible, avoid routing the cable above the catalytic converter.
• Use grommets whenever a cable has to pass through a hole in a metal panel.
The following table lists power cables available for this radio:
Table 2-1: Power Cabl es
Number Description Rating
HKN4137_ Low power cable to battery 1-25W; 15A fuse; 14 AWG 3m
HKN4191_ High power cable to battery 40-60W; 20A fuse; 12 AWG 3m
2.2 Power Cable Installation Procedure
Begin the power cable installation as follows:
1. Determine a routing plan, keeping in mind where the radio is to be mounted.
CAUTION: Improper handling with the power cable may short to ground. Ensure that during
radio installation the power cable fuse is removed.
2. Locate an existing hole with grommet in the vehicle fire w all, or use a 3/8-inch (9.5 mm) bit to drill
an access hole in the fire wall. Install a grommet with a 3/16-inch (4.9 mm) inside diameter into
the hole to protect the power cable.
CAUTION: Be very careful not to damage existing wires.
3. From inside the vehicle, feed the red and black leads (without the lugs attached) through the
access hole and into the engine compartment. (See Figure 2-1.)

4. Connect the black lead of the power cable to the nearest vehicle chassis ground point, which is
usually the central ground point near the battery (using the provided ring lug if necessary).
Shorten the black lead to remove any excess cable. (See Figure 2-2.)
NOTE Locate a good vehicle grou nd point. The vehicle central ground point provides the
best ground. If this is not available, the vehicle frame provides the best ground.
Optimum radio performance can only be achieved with a very low resistance ground
connection. Verify that the connections between the bat tery negative terminal,
vehicle chassis, and engine block have low resistance.
5. Place the fuse holder close to the battery. Ensure that it is not near any hot engine component.
Mount the fuse holder using its mounting hole and dress the wires as required.
6. Insert the stripped end of the red lead of the fuse holder into the ring lug hole and crimp it.
Connect the fuse holder red adapter lead plug to the mating receptacle on the red lead of the
power cable. (See Figure 2-2.)
7. Connect the power cable black lead directly to the vehicle chassis ground.
8. Connect the red lead ring lug from the fuse holder to the positive (+) battery terminal. Make sure
the adapter cable is connected to the main power cable red lead.
9. Carefully check that all connections are proper. Insert the fuse into the fuse holder and close the
cover. (See Figure 2-2.)
NOTE
Failure to mount the red lead of th e power cable kit directly to the battery may result
in severe alternator whine interference.
