GDL 5X Mounting Instructions

A mounting plate is included to provide a fixed mount inside the aircraft, if 

desired. The GDL 5X has a rubber pad that prevents the unit from sliding around, 
if the mounting plate is not used. The GDL 5X may be mounted in a remote 
location away from the cockpit, but may require the use of an external antenna for 
best GPS, ADS-B, and SiriusXM reception. 

1.  Locate the proposed mounting position. Ensure that the cabling will reach 

the required connections with room to secure the cables in a safe manner. 
Cables may be inserted into the slot in the included suction cup to assist in 
routing cables. 

2.  Place the mounting plate in position and mark the location of the four 

mounting holes. 

3.  Drill holes for the mounting screws with the appropriately sized bit. 
4.  Attach the mounting plate with four #8 flat head 100° screws (not supplied).
