SPEAKER INSTALLATION
9.1.1
Selecting a Mounting Location
Typically, the radio’s speaker is mounted on the motorcycle’s steering handlebars. The selected mounting
location:
Must be in a location that is safe for the motorcycle operator (e.g., so it does not interfere with
steering and other motorcycle controls);
Must not interfere with the motorcycle operator’s visibility, including the view of all motorcycle
instruments;
Must allow for proper listening range with a moderate volume setting;
Must be mounted securely; and,
Must not be mounted in a way that compromises the strength of the motorcycle’s frame or other key
components.
9.1.2
Mounting the Speaker
The following mounting procedure is recommended:
1.
Obtain External Speaker LS102824V10 (item 15 in Table 4-2) included in the installation kit.
2.
Using the above listed guidelines, select a mounting location for the speaker.
3.
Install the speaker using the hardware and mounting bracket supplied with it. In some case, an
appropriate adapter bracket will be required (not supplied).
4.
Route the speaker cable to the rear of the CH-721 control head.
5.
Mate the 6-inch speaker cable (item 16 in Table 4-2) to the 2-pin connector at the rear of the control
head by visually aligning the ¾-moon-shaped keys of the connectors, and then pushing and turning
the outer locking ring of the cable connector clockwise until it stops. A mild click will be sensed to
confirm proper mating.
6.
Connect the speaker cable’s 2-pin plastic connector to the respective mating connector on the 6-inch
speaker cable.
7.
Route the cables out of the way of casual contact. Tie and stow as necessary.
