Setting up
The VM25B megaphone is fitted with a lever-action suction cup for fitting to a vehicle roof. Before using
this, ensure that the mounting surface is clean and clear of debris to avoid damages to the finish and
ensure an air-tight seal. Moisten the rubber foot of the suction cup and place the VM25B into position with
the suction lever in the ‘up’ position, press down firmly and pull the lever down to the horizontal position.
Check that the seal is strong and that the VM25B cannot be moved. Alternatively, for permanent
installation, the suction cup can be removed and the mounting bracket can be bolted in place.
The VM25B is pre-wired with a fixed microphone lead which has a DIN connector at the end. The comms
handset connects to this lead via a corresponding DIN plug. Feed the lead from the VM25B into the
vehicle cabin through a window or bulkhead and connect the handset, ensuring that the DIN connectors
are orientated correctly (each connector has a matching key to ensure correct connection).
For power, the VM25B has a 12Vdc input near
to the hard-wired microphone lead. A DC lead
is provided for powering from a vehicle 12V
outlet and this should also be fed into the
vehicle cabin through a window or bulkhead
and connected to the 12V outlet.
