RAM3 (CMP30) INSTALLATION

1. Connect the Extension Cable to the 8-pin connector on the transceivers rear panel,
then tighten the Cable Nut (Figure 1).

2. Referring to Figure 2, attach the supplied ferrite core as close as possible to the MIC
plug of the Routing Cable and External Speaker Connections, then snap its two
halves together. And then, wind some plastic tape around the ferrite core, to prevent
vibration from causing the two halves to split apart and fall off the wires.

3. Referring to Figure 3, make a 1.2” (30 mm) hole in the wall then insert the Exten­sion Cable into this hole. Connect the Gasket and Mount Base to the Extension
Cable Connector using the Nut.

4. Drill the four Screw holes (approx. 2 mm) on the wall then install the Mounting
Bracket to the wall using four screws.

5. Put the Rubber Cap on to the Nut.

6. The installation is now complete. Connect the RAM3 (CMP30) to the Extension
Cable Connector and tighten the Cable Nut.
