9 Screw the gland into the radio unit until there is full contact between the gland and the radio
unit.
Note
Before tightening the gland, make sure the gland is aligned with the taped hole in the
unit. Tightening the gland at an angle can ruin the thread on the gland and prevent
proper sealing of the interface.
Tighten the gland gently and make sure there is no resistance. If there is resistance,
stop immediately, and thread out the gland. Verify that the gland thread is not
damaged and tighten the gland again.

10 Insert the main part of the gland into the thread in the radio body and tighten until there is
full contact and the gasket is fully contained between the gland and the radio and cannot be
seen. Tighten the gland gently and make sure there is no resistance. If there is resistance,
stop immediately, and thread out the gland. Verify that the gland thread is not damaged and
tighten the gland again.
Caution
Ensure that the gland rubber is properly located and not damaged during the
tightening of the gland cap.
