SAFETY INFORMATION The operator of any mobile radio should be aware of certain hazards common to the operation of vehicular radio transmissions. A list of several possible hazards is given: 1. Explosive Atmospheres - Just as it is dangerous to fuel a vehicle with the motor running, similar hazards exist when operating a mobile radio, be sure to turn the radio off while fueling the vehicle. Do not carry containers of fuel in the trunk of the vehicle if the radio is mounted in the trunk. 2.
MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE (MPE) LIMITS Do not transmit with this radio and antenna when persons are within the MPE Radius of the antenna, unless such persons (such as the driver or radio operator) are shielded from the antenna field by a grounded metallic barrier (such as the user’s vehicle rooftop).

INTRODUCTION The PANTHERTM 300M mobile radio is designed for installation as a front mount radio. This manual provides the mobile installation instructions and includes the instructions to install the external horn or external speaker options. UNPACK AND CHECK THE EQUIPMENT Carefully unpack the equipment and verify the items listed below are included in the shipping container. If damage has occurred to the equipment during shipment, file a claim with the carrier immediately.
OPTIONS AND ACCESSORIES The following table lists the options and accessories available for the PANTHER 300M Mobile Radio.
INSTALLATION STEP 1 - PLAN THE INSTALLATION Figure 1 shows an example of a typical connection diagram. Before beginning, plan the radio installation carefully so that it will: " " " " " " " " Be safe for the operator and passengers, Be convenient for the operator to use, Be neat in appearance, Be protected from water damage, Be easy to service, Be out of the way of auto mechanics, Be out of the way of passengers, and Allow for good air flow around the unit’s cooling fins.
! Drills and circle cutters as follows: • No. 31 (1/8-inch) drill • 1/2-inch drill or circle cutter • 3/4-inch circle cutter, hole saw or socket punch ! Phillips and flat-blade screwdrivers ! No. 10 Torx driver Torx is a registered trademark of CAMCAR Division TEXTRON, Inc.

STEP 3 – EQUIPMENT PREPARATION Mounting This section describes the radio preparation for installation. In most applications, the following procedures should be completed before the radio is mounted. Depending upon the mounting location, these procedures could become very difficult after the radio is mounted.
Figure 2 – Removing Top Cover 14
Figure 3 – Factory Default Internal Speaker Jumper Setting (Enabled) Configure the Internal Radio Speaker Jumper (JP701) The PANTHER 300M radio is shipped from the factory with the internal radio speaker jumper (JP701) set to 1-2 as shown in Figure 3. This setting enables the internal radio speaker. Set the jumper to 2-3 if 1) only the External Speaker is to be enabled or 2) the Internal/External Speaker option is to be enabled.
To use the Ignition Sense line in any application, the option cable must be wired accordingly, see the section Connect To Ignition Sense on page 19. There are three parameters that define how the Ignition Sense feature will operate - a jumper on the radio (as described above), and two programmable parameters in the personality. The programmable parameters enable/disable Transmission and/or Horn Alert with respect to the vehicle ignition switch.
Connect Option Cable This section applies to installations that require an option cable. The option cable (RPM 113 7674/1) is required if you are installing: ! External Speaker ! Internal/External Speaker Option ! Car Horn Alert ! Ignition Sense ! External Modulation ! External Demodulation To connect the option cable to the radio: 1. Remove the two Phillips screws holding the plastic cover in place, from the back of the radio, see Figure 5. Figure 5 – Removing Plastic Cover 2.
the personality for the PANTHER 300M radio. The radio personality is a computer file that defines all the operating parameters for the radio. For more information on programming the PANTHER 300M radio, see the On-Line Help provided with Conventional ProGrammer (TQ-3389 R9A or later) or ProGrammer (TQ-3385 R9A or later). Typically, the radio is programmed before it is installed in a vehicle. STEP 5 – INSTALL CABLES The PANTHER 300M Mobile Radio is installed as a front mount radio.
Figure 6 – Power Cable RPM 113 7674/10 Route the lead away from high heat sources in the engine compartment that may cause lead damage and introduce a fire hazard. In addition, the lead should not be routed near electrical noise sources such as electronic ignition modules or cruise control modules. 3. Secure the cable at several locations within the engine compartment to prevent possible damage to the cable. 4. Connect the BLACK lead to the vehicle chassis.
detailed description on how to configure the Ignition Sense line, see the section Configure Ignition Sense Jumper on page 15. Regardless of how the ignition sense line is configured, the option cable must be wired as described below for the feature to work. Connect Pin 13 of the option cable to an ignition “ON” sense point (preferably an “Accessory” point in the vehicle fuse panel) that is switched on when the vehicle ignition switch is in the ACCESSORY and RUN positions.
Figure 7 – Radio Mounting Hardware Radio Mounting Procedures The following procedures are used to mount the radio in front mount applications. 1. Using the bracket as a template, mark and drill the mounting holes using a No. 31 (1/8) drill bit. Be sure to leave enough room at the rear of the radio unit for the cable connections and air flow. CAUTION Be careful to avoid damaging some vital part (fuel tank, transmission housing, etc.) of the vehicle when drilling mounting holes.
STEP 7 – INSTALL OPTIONS AND ACCESSORIES Radio Option Cable The radio option cable (RPM 113 7674/1) is required if you are installing: ! External Speaker ! Internal/External Speaker Option ! Car Horn Alert ! Ignition Sense ! External Modulation ! External Demodulation The section STEP 3 – EQUIPMENT PREPARATION, on page 13, describes how to connect the option cable to the radio.

External Speaker – 19A149590P11 The external speaker kit includes a 4-ohm, 10 Watt rated speaker and a radio option cable. To connect an external speaker, the radio option cable (RPM 113 7674/1) must be installed and connected to the radio. 1. Mount the speaker so it is directed to the operator but does not interfere with the operator’s vision. It also should not present a hazard in the event of an accident.

A permanent mount type of antenna should be located in the center of the roof or center of rear deck. Glass mounted antennas should be kept as high as possible in the top center of the rear window. Some states have laws restricting vision-obstructing items from the windows. Be familiar with local laws before installing glass mount antennas.
