Radio Frequency (RF) Energy Exposure Safety
Standards

ATTENTION!

This radio is intended for use in occupational/controlled conditions, where users have full knowledge
of their exposure and can exercise control over their exposure to meet FCC limits. This radio device is
NOT authorized for general population, consumer, or any other use.
To ensure compliance to RF Energy Safety Standards:
• Install only Motorola approved antennas and accessories.
• Be sure that antenna installation is per Antenna Installation on page 2-11 of this manual.
• Be sure that Product Safety and RF Safety Booklet enclosed with this radio is available to the end user
upon completion of the installation of this radio.
Before using this product, the operator must be familiar with the RF energy awareness information and
operating instructions in the Product Safety and RF Exposure booklet enclosed with each radio (Motorola
publication part number 6881095C99_) to ensure compliance with Radio Frequency (RF) energy exposure
limits.

For radios installed in vehicles fuelled by liquefied petroleum gas, refer to the (U.S.) National Fire
! Protection Association standard, NFPA58, for storage, handling, and/or container information.
WARNING

This radio has a transmitter Time-out Timer that disables the transmitter during a transmission after a pre-
defined time period, which by default is set to 60 seconds.

It is recommended NOT to change the default 60 seconds time period for the Time-out Timer as the
radio is intended for intermittent duty cycle operation.

2.1 Planning the Installation
The mobile radio operates only in negative ground electrical systems. Before starting the radio
installation, make sure that the ground polarity of the vehicle is correct. Accidentally reversing the
polarity will not damage the radio, but will cause the cable fuses to blow.
Planning is the key to fast, easy radio installation. Before starting the installation, inspect the vehicle
and determine how and where you intend to mount the antenna, radio, and accessories. Plan wire
and cable runs to provide maximum protection from pinching, crushing, and overheating.

Before installing any electrical equipment, check the vehicle manufacturer’s user manual. The installation

2.2 Radio Mounting

DO NOT mount the radio on a plastic dashboard without first reinforcing the dashboard; the weight of
the radio may crack or break the dashboard.
Caution

DO NOT mount the radio on a flat or concave surface where the radio could be partially submersed in
water. This is especially important if the cab area of the vehicle is cleaned by spraying with water. If the
radio sits in water for a length of time, moisture may seep inside the radio and damage the electronic
Caution
components.

DO NOT allow water to stand in recessed areas of vertically mounted radios. Remove any moisture
immediately to prevent it from seeping down into the radio.
Caution

The mounting location must be accessible and visible. Select a location that will permit routing the
RF antenna cable as directly as possible.

Caution
installer.

Before making any holes in the trunk for radio mounting, check the vehicle
manufacturer’s user manual for restrictions (e.g. due to the gas tank location).

For a remote mount installation, the transceiver may be mounted anywhere in the vehicle, provided
that the installation location is safe, follows the cautions mentioned at the beginning of this section,
and is accessible for servicing/maintenance as well as cabling. A typical mounting location
recommended by Motorola is the vehicle’s trunk. The trunnion provided may still be used to mount
the transceiver, and the mounting process is the same as for the dash mount installation.
See publication 6878397A01 for the MOTOTRBO XPR 4000/XPR 4000e Series mobile radio remote
mount control head installation instructions.

2.3 Power Cable

Route the red radio power cable from the radio to the vehicle’s battery compartment, using accepted
industry methods and standards. Be sure to grommet the firewall hole to protect the cable. Remove
the 15-Amp (part number 6580283E06) or 20-Amp (part number 6580283E07) fuse from the
fuseholder and connect the red lead of the radio power cable to the positive battery terminal using
the hardware provided as shown in Figure 2-12. Connect the black lead to a convenient solid

Installation Details for Standard Configurations Ignition Sense Cable 2-11

2.4 Ignition Sense Cable

Motorola supplies an ignition sense cable and recommends that it be used with every mobile
installation. The ignition sense cable allows the radio to be turned on and off with the vehicle ignition
switch, and allows the radio to “remember” the state of the radio on/off switch, even if it is changed
while the vehicle is off.
• For radio ON/OFF control independent of the ignition switch, connect the red ignition cable (pin
25 of accessory connector) to “battery hot” at the vehicle fuse block (dash mount only).
• For radio ON/OFF control via the ignition switch, connect the red ignition cable to “ignition” at
the fuse block.
The ignition sense cable uses either a 3-Amp (P/N 6500139764) or 4-Amp (P/N 6580283E02) fuse.
For other considerations when connecting the ignition cable, see Basic Service Manuals in Related
Publications on page 1-v.

2.5 Antenna Installation

IMPORTANT NOTE: To assure optimum performance and compliance with RF Energy Safety
standards, these antenna installation guidelines and instructions are limited to
metal-body vehicles with appropriate ground planes and take into account the
potential exposure of back seat passengers and bystanders outside the
vehicle.
NOTE: For mobile radios with rated power of 7 watts or less, the only installation restrictions are to
use only Motorola approved antennas and install the antenna externally on metal body
vehicles. For mobile radios with rated power greater than 7 Watts, always adhere to all the
guidelines and restrictions in Section 2.5.1 below.

2.5.1 Selecting an Antenna Site/Location on a Metal Body Vehicle

1. External Installation - Check the requirements of the antenna supplier and install the vehicle
antenna external to a metal body vehicle in accordance with those requirements.
2. Roof Top - For optimum performance and compliance with RF Energy Safety Standards,
mount the antenna in the center of the roof.
3. Trunk Lid - On some vehicles with clearly defined, flat trunk lids, the antennas of some radio
models (see restrictions below) can also be mounted on the center area of the trunk lid. For
vehicles without clearly defined, flat trunk lids (such as hatchback autos, sport utility vehicles,
and pick-up trucks), mount the antenna in the center of the roof.

BEFORE INSTALLING AN ANTENNA ON THE TRUNK LID,

- Be sure that the distance from the antenna location on the trunk lid will be at least
85 cm (33 inches) from the front surface of the rear seat-back to assure compliance with RF
Energy Safety standards.

- Ensure that the trunk lid is grounded by connecting grounding straps between the trunk lid
and the vehicle chassis.
NOTE: If these conditions cannot be satisfied, then mount the antenna on the roof top.
4. Mounting restrictions for certain radio models:
For all VHF and UHF models, the 1/4 wave antenna & RAD4227_ antenna should be
mounted only in the center area of the roof, not on the trunk lid, to assure compliance with
RF Energy Safety standards.
5. Ensure the antenna cable can be easily routed to the radio. Route the antenna cable as far
away as possible from the vehicle electronic control units and associated wiring.
2-12 Installation Details for Standard Configurations Antenna Installation

6. Check the antenna location for any electrical interference.

7. Make sure the mobile radio antenna is installed at least 30 centimeters (1 foot) away from any
other antenna on the vehicle.
8. For XPR Series Mobile Radio models with GPS using a GPS only or a combined RF/GPS
antenna, ensure that the antenna has a clear view of the sky and that the antenna base with
the GPS receiver is not covered by any metallic or radio frequency absorbing material. Any
non-glass-mount GPS antenna should be positioned next to the RF antenna. Any other
mobile radio antenna should be at least 30 centimeters (1 foot) away from the RF antenna.
NOTE: Any two metal pieces rubbing against each other (such as seat springs, shift levers, trunk and
hood lids, exhaust pipes, etc.) in close proximity to the antenna can cause severe receiver
interference.

2.5.2 Antenna Installation Procedure

1. Mount the antenna according to the instructions provided with the antenna kit. Run the
coaxial cable to the radio mounting location. If necessary, cut off the excess cable and install
the cable connector.
2. Connect the antenna cable connector to the radio antenna connector on the rear of the radio.
3. In case of a GPS model, connect the GPS antenna to the GPS antenna connector on the rear
of the radio.

2.5.3 Antenna Connection

To ensure a secure connection of an antenna cable's mini-UHF plug to a radio's mini-UHF jack, their
interlocking features must be properly engaged. If they are not properly engaged, the system will
loosen.
NOTE: Applying excessive force with a tool can cause damage to the antenna or the connector (e.g.,
stripping threads, deforming the collar or connector, or causing the connector to twist in the
housing opening and break).
Motorola recommends the following sequence to ensure proper attachment of the system (see
Figure 2-14):

Mini UHF
Jack

Collar Pulled
Back to Flange
Flange
Cable

Figure 2-14 Mini-UHF Connection

1. Make sure that there is sufficient slack in the antenna cable.

2. Make sure that the collar of the antenna cable plug is loose and does not bind.
3. Slide the collar back against the flange. Insert the antenna cable plug’s pin fully into the radio
jack, but do not engage the threads.
4. Ensure that the plug’s and jack’s interlocking features are fully seated. Check this by grasping
the crimp on the cable jack, rotating the cable, and noting any movement. If the features are
seated correctly, there should be NO movement.
5. Finger-tighten the antenna cable plug’s collar onto the radio’s jack.
6. Give a final tug, by hand, to the collar, and retighten by hand as firmly as possible.
7. Use the rubber-coated pliers to grip the plug’s knurled collar, then turn clockwise to tighten
the collar. It should take 1/4 turn or less. Turning counterclockwise loosens the collar.
NOTE: Overtightening the collar can damage the connector and the radio.
2-14 Installation Details for Standard Configurations

2.6 Microphone Hang-Up Clip

2.6.1 Standard Hang-Up Clip
The hang-up clip must be within reach of the operator(s). Measure this distance before actually
mounting the bracket. Since the bracket has a positive-detent action, the microphone can be
mounted in any position. The microphone hang-up clip must be grounded.
Use the hang-up clip as a template to locate the mounting holes. To avoid interference when
removing the microphone, install the flathead screw in the top clip hole.

3.1.2 Horn and Lights (External Alarm) Relay

Allows the user to be alerted to an incoming call when away from the vehicle. The vehicle's horn or
lights or both are used depending on which option is connected to the accessory port. When the
radio receives a call alert or emergency alarm/call, there is a delay before activating the horn and/or
lights. The delay is programmable using the Horn & Lights Delay Time feature in the CPS. Once
activated, the Horn and/or Lights remain active depending on the option selected. The Horn & Lights
feature can be toggled between ON or OFF, via a short or long programmable button press (Horn &
Lights On/Off) or Horn/Lights (Utilities Menu) feature.
For installations that use the horn/lights option, select a suitable location for mounting (normally
under the dash) and, referring to Figure 3-4, perform the following procedure:
1. Horn Relay – Connect the relay contacts across the horn ring switch, typically found in the
steering column. Connect the two control wires (female pins) into locations 26 and 18 of the

Caution shorted together.

The external speaker kit includes a trunnion bracket that allows the speaker to be mounted in a
variety of ways. With the trunnion bracket, the external speaker can mount permanently on the
dashboard or in accessible firewall areas. The trunnion allows the external speaker to tilt for best
operation. Mount the external speaker out of the way so that it will not be kicked or knocked around
by the vehicle occupants. Mount the external speaker as follows:
1. Use the external speaker mounting bracket as a template to mark the mounting hole
locations.
2. Use the self-drilling screws provided to fasten the trunnion.
3. Attach the external speaker and fasten to the trunnion with two wing screws.
4. Route the speaker wires under the carpet or floor covering, or behind the kick panels. Be sure
the wires are out of the way and will not be snagged and broken by the occupants of the
vehicle.

Notes
Chapter 4 Best Practices: Installation & Troubleshooting

In this section are Motorola recommended vehicle installation practices that can address or prevent
many issues, including:
• Radio circuit damage due to over voltage condition
• Radio/Accessories "lock up"
• Radio/Accessories change state/lock-up when radio PTT is depressed
• Radio intermittently resets
• Alternator whine present when transmitting with engine running
• Radio/Accessories turn themselves on/off

4.1 Check Wiring of Ignition and Radio Ignition Sensing

• If it is required to turn the radio on and off via the ignition sense switch, in addition to the control
head’s on/off switch, connect the ignition sense lead to the accessory terminal from the ignition
switch (usually in the vehicle’s fuse panel under accessory or radio).
NOTE: Motorola recommends protecting or isolating the radio’s ignition sense input from voltage spikes
in excess of +/- 40 VDC. Such spikes can be hundreds of volts in amplitude and are common in
larger vehicles (utility trucks, buses and etc.), especially when the source is common to a
solenoid coil. A triggerable oscilloscope is required to determine the existence of such spikes as
most voltmeters cannot measure in short duration (< 1 msec). If the condition of the intended
ignition sense source is unknown, Motorola recommends isolating the source from the radio with
a relay or the use of a suppression diode wired between the source and ground. Any high current
suppression diode (i.e. MR2535) with a breakdown voltage of between 18 and 40 volts will
suffice. A suitable diode kit is available from Motorola parts, kit number HLN6325_.
• If it is required to have the radio power up only via the control head’s on/off switch, then connect
the ignition sense lead directly to the positive terminal of the battery. This will mean the ignition
sense will always be ignored and a re-wiring will be necessary in the future if the operator

4.2 Check Physical Installation of Radio Ground and Radio Accessory

Wiring
• Take care to scrape away paint on the chassis at the place where the ground connection is to
be made, and try to keep the ground lead as short as possible.
• Verify that the A+ lead (red) is connected directly to the positive terminal of the battery and
the ground lead (black) is connected to the vehicle’s chassis using as short of a length of
wire as is practical.
• For vehicles that have other types of electronic equipment installed (lights, flashers,
computers siren/PA and etc.), use a separate ground for the mobile radio equipment.
• Make sure that the mobile radio antenna is the minimum required distance (three feet) from
the mobile radio equipment to prevent radio frequency interference (RFI) from interfering
with the radio and/or accessories.
• Do not coil up any excess length of the A+ (red) lead. Doing this may cause a large transient
voltage to be produced when there is a high current drain (e.g. during transmit). This could
cause the radio to reset when the push-to-talk (PTT) is depressed.
• Do not coil up any excessive length of antenna cable, if possible. It may affect the radio’s
receive performance.

4.3 Improve the Electrical Quality of the Power and Ignition Lines
• Use a relay to isolate the vehicle’s ignition switch point (ACC) from the radio’s ignition sense
point. Control this relay from the vehicle’s ignition switch point (ACC). Supply a cleaner
voltage from the positive terminal of the battery into the relay, which will now be attached to
the radio’s ignition sense point. Now the ACC line toggles the relay, instead of directly
toggling the radios ignition sense line.
• Install a Power Line Filter between the A+ lead and the positive terminal of the battery. This is
intended to filter the battery power applied to the transmitter power amplifiers. Pay extra
caution to this because the series filter will introduce a negative spike when the radio
transmits that may cause problems with radio operation.
• For vehicles that use electromechanical relays to control external devices (lights, motors,
switch boxes and etc.), these relay circuits should be isolated as best as possible from the
mobile radio equipment. Also, diode suppression should be used across the relay contacts to
minimize the noise produced by the collapsing magnetic field.
• If the ignition sense switch is to be used, make sure that there is not a large voltage drop
between the A+ point (usually the positive terminal of the battery) and the ignition sense
point. In general, the voltage difference between these two points, should not be greater than
1.5 volts when all accessories/air-conditioner, etc. are turned on. Refer to the Basic Service
Manual for specifications for minimum and maximum voltage levels. Typical battery voltage
levels are 13.6V +/- 20%.

4.4 Jump-Start the Vehicle

Do not jump-start vehicle with radio power or ignition sense cables connected.
Damage to the radio and/or accessories may result.
Caution

The state of your radio prior to needing a jump-start may be unknown, and the radio may attempt to
return to its last state (radio ON), when doing a jump-start. Therefore, Motorola recommends the
following steps be taken before jump-starting any vehicle containing a radio.
1. Locate the ignition sense line and the main power leads (thick red wire) near the battery
positive terminal.
NOTE: These lines are fused. In the event these lines are not fused (add the appropriate fuse in line)
use whatever tools necessary to physically disconnect the ignition sense and power lines
from the battery terminal.
2. Open up the fuse holders and remove the fuses out of the kits.
3. Re-tighten the fuse holders but without the fuses to insure that ignition sense and power lines
do not interfere with any moving parts.
4. Proceed with the jump-start routine as described by your vehicle owner’s manual.
5. Once the jump-start process is complete, re-install the fuses into their holders.

4.5 Eliminate Noise/Howling from PA Speaker

1. Refer to Section 2.1.2 for recommended methods of installation available for the mobile
two-way radio, with accessories placed to the vehicle as desired.
2. Refer to Figure 2-3 and Figure 2-4 for the wiring diagrams for the recommended
configurations.
