2.4 Installing the Client Radio
Currently most Galaxy displays allow the client radio to be installed using a quick-connect
cable. This provides for a quicker and simpler installation. However, some displays are not
equipped with quick-connect jacks, but they are or can be controlled with a radio system.
This section includes client radio installation both with and without quick-connects.
Note:
Daktronics recommends that the client radio be temporarily mounted in the desired
location. Once the radio is proven effective in this location, it can be permanently installed.

The client radio is watertight and should not need additional protection from the elements.
The cable is also rated for outdoor use and does not have to be routed in conduit. Use

Note:
If the client radio enclosure is opened, make sure the screws and the gasket are closed
tightly to insure a watertight seal.
