Step 1:  Select a Location for the VHF 100/200 Series Radio

Consider the following when you select an installation location:

Provides optimal viewing.
Allows easy access to the radio controls and handset.
Is strong enough to support the weight of the radio and protect it from excessive vibration or shock.
Allows room for the routing and connection of the cables for power and data. There should be at least 5 in. (127 mm) of clearance 

behind the case.
Is located at least 20 in. (500 mm) from a magnetic compass.
Is in an area that minimizes exposure to extreme weather conditions.

 

Note: 

The temperature range for the VHF 100/200 series radios is from 14°F to 122°F (from -10°C to 50°C). Extended exposure to temperatures 

outside this range (in storage or operating conditions) may cause failure of the LCD screen or other components. This type of failure and related 

consequences are not covered by the manufacturer’s limited warranty.

Step 2: Mount the VHF 100/200 Series Radio

You can mount your radio in one of two ways:

Bail Mount—mount the radio onto the bracket that attaches to the console or overhead.

Flush Mount—use the flush-mount kit to mount the radio into a flat panel.

Bail Mounting the VHF 100/200 Series Radio

In addition to the included mounting bracket, mounting knobs, and three of the 4.2 × 25 mm panhead mounting screws, bail mounting the 

VHF 100/200 series radio requires the following tools (not included):

Phillips screwdriver
Drill and 9/64 in. (3.5 mm) drill bit
Center punch and hammer
Customer-supplied mounting hardware (optional) - bolts, nuts, and washers

To mount the bracket assembly:

1.  Using the base of the bracket as a template, mark the location of the three holes (two screws towards the front, one screw towards the 

back).

2.  Using the center punch, indent the center of each of the three mounting-hole locations.
3.  Drill the mounting holes, using a 9/64 in. (3.5 mm) drill bit 
4.  Secure the base with the three 4.2 × 25 mm included screws or, if desired, secure with appropriate bolts, nuts, and washers (not 

included).

To install the VHF 100/200 series radio on the mounting bracket:

1.  Loosely attach the mounting knobs to the VHF 100/200 series radio.
2.  Slide the radio onto the mounting bracket, and tighten the mounting knobs.
