INSTALLATION
Carefully select the installation location for the RMN5054 Visor-Mounted Microphone.
To achieve optimum performance of the microphone’s hands-free circuitry, mount the microphone in one of the following two locations:
- on the sun-visor directly above the driver or
- on the headliner just above the driver.
The microphone should never be mounted near the window or in a place where the road and ambient background noise would be substantially high (above 85 dB SPL).
Visor Mounting (Figure 1)
1. Slide the mounting clip onto the back of the microphone.
2. Slide the mounting clip/visor microphone onto the top of the sun-visor.
Headliner Mounting (Figure 2)
- For the most secure mount, adhere the Velcro inside the vehicle at a temperature of about 73°F (23°C).
- Choose the desired location and position of the Velcro so that the microphone ports face the operator when attached.
- Remove the adhesive backing from the flexible Velcro strip and adhere the strip to the desired location. To ensure maximum adhesion, leave the Velcro strip undisturbed for 24 hours before use.
- Remove the metal clip and replace it with the plastic plate with Velcro.
- Slide the Velcro strip between the guides on the back of the microphone until it snaps into place.
- Mount the microphone by pressing the two Velcro surfaces together.
