2Installation of your RadioInstallation PlanningTo ensure trouble-free, efficient installation, inspect the vehicle and determine how and wherethe antenna, radio and accessories are to be mounted.It is possible to remote-mount the T2020II, T2040II and T2050II models as these have al-phanumeric keypads, with the control head separate from the radio chassis. This enables theradio to be mounted in a discrete location, e.g. the rear luggage space, with the control headmounted in a convenient position for the vehicleís occupants. See the M2000 service manual,available from your Tait dealer, for details of this modification.Occupantís SafetyCheck that the chosen locations for the radio and accessories do not endanger the vehicleoccupants. Overhead mounting is not recommended, especially without an additional safetystrap. Check that the radio may be conveniently operated when seat belts are worn.Caution: To prevent interference with vehicle electronic systems (such as ignition and anti-skiddevices), the radio, its antenna and wiring should be mounted away from these units and theirassociated cables.Allow sufficient airflow around the radio to permit adequate cooling. Once you have found asuitable mounting position for the radio, hold it (fitted in the cradle) in the proposed mountingposition and check there is clearance behind it for the heatsink, cables, etc. Check that theposition provides a large enough flat surface that the cradle will not be distorted.To Disassemble the Cradle1. Remove the radio from its cradle by sliding the plastic key supplied with the radio fully intothe slot on the left front of the radio unit.
