2.2 Installing the VHF radio
You can mount the VHF radio as a desktop, overhead or flush-mounted unit integrated in
the instrument panel.
Provide space enough to access the front panel connectors and for installing a cradle for
the speaking device.
Provide
at least 120 mm space at the back
of the SAILOR 6215/6216 VHF DSC radio
to allow free air circulation.
Compass safe distance
Make sure that the VHF radio is far enough from any magnetic compass to avoid influence
of the loudspeaker magnet on the compass reading. See the following table for the safe
distance after magnetization between the nearest point of the device and the centre of the
compass at which it will produce a deviation of 0.3°.
