count to verify that all of the items that you are entitled to are verified, once
you leave with the radios and something is found to be missing, it will be
your responsibility to replace it.

numbers and will be programmed according to the apparatus templates that

5. You need to decide whether you are leaving your current VHF / UHF
radios in your cab to be used for radio interoperability or have the
installation vendor remove your current mobile radios and returned to you at
the completion of your new 700 MHz mobile radio.
6. You will be contacted in advance when your truck will be needed at one
of the installation sites, please plan the day before to have the truck that is
being requested to be out of service for the entire day so we do not have any
delays in installation. If you only have one of these types of trucks we are
asking for please set up automatic mutual aid in advance to take your trucks
place, again please remove all projectile objects from a tilt cab. It will not be
necessary to stay with your truck if you do not want to.
7. Mobile radio installation will be at regional sites throughout the county,
you will be asked to have your tilt cabs cleared of any objects that can fall
and damage something(SCBA ECT NEED TO BE REMOVE PRIOR TO
THE TRUCKS ARRIVAL), you will be asked to have someone who is
authorized to speak on your departments behalf on where your mobile radio
is to be mounted and where the microphone is to be mounted, this person
will also have to sign off that the installation is satisfactory and is complete.
