INTRODUCTION

The RMN5052 and RMN5053 Compact and Heavy-Duty Microphones provide a convenient means of communicating by having a microphone and a push-to-talk (PTT) button in a single, handheld accessory. Both microphones include a coiled cord with strain relief, a hang-up clip with mounting hardware (HLN9073), and a connector that plugs into the mobile radio.

The RMN5053 Heavy-Duty Microphone has a removable coiled cord and two programmable side buttons for additional functionality. These microphones are not backwards compatible with other legacy mobile radios.

INSTALLATION

Carefully select the installation location for the microphone. Plan the installation so that the microphone’s location is within convenient reach of the user, but will not interfere with the vehicle’s operation. Also, consider the operation of other vehicle accessories.

VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIRBAGS

WARNINGAn airbag inflates with great force.DO NOT place objects, including communication equipment, in the area over the airbag or in the airbag deployment area. If the communication equipment is improperly placed and the airbag inflates, this could cause serious injury.CautionIf mounted on an insecure or hollow mounting surface, the bracket could loosen, and the unit could break free on collision. Mount the bracket only in a location that allows the self tapping screws to solidly anchor into a metal surface.Caution The mounting screws can damage cables and wires that run under some mounting surfaces in the vehicle. Be careful to avoid mounting the bracket above those locations.

Mounting the Hang-Up Clip

Once an installation location has been decided, perform the following steps:

1. Verify that the selected mounting surface is strong enough to support the mounting hardware and the microphone.
2. Use the base of the hang-up clip as a template to center punch and drill two 3mm (1/8”) diameter holes. Be careful not to damage any wires or any other vehicle components when drilling the holes.
3. Use the two self tapping screws provided to mount and secure the hang-up clip.
