1 TO THE OWNER BUSINESS BAND RADIOS The power
supply harness and antenna cable with low
profile mount for a business band radio are
installed in tractors equipped with the business
radio ready option. The business band radio,
radio mounting bracket, and antenna are owner
supplied. The recommended mounting location for
the business band radio is under and to the
right of the AM/FM radio. The bracket supplied
with the business band radio must be used. The
AM/FM radio must be removed for access to the
power and antenna harnesses and for proper
positioning of the bracket. Mount the business
radio bracket to the AM/FM radio-mounting
bracket (hidden by the headliner). Attach the
microphone to the same bracket or the business
band radio.
NOTE When drilling mounting holes, do not
damage any wiring harnesses. Use blunt tip screws
of an appropriate length to install the bracket
and avoid contact with the AM/FM radio or
harnesses.
RH02H164
Route the power and antenna harnesses to the
business band radio. Drill a hole through the
headliner at this location, and use a grommet to
protect the wires and cover the hole. The antenna
mast mounting stud (1) is located on the cab
roof near the operators door. Remove the
protective cap and install the antenna on the
threaded stud. The stud is already wired with
RF-58/U cable, which is routed behind the AM/FM
radio for easy connection to your business band
radio.
RG02H173
NOTE The antenna mast must be purchased locally
and must be compatible with an Antenna Specialist
Model K-794 low profile antenna mount. See
Antenna Specialists at www.antenna.com for
