InstALLAtIon
NOTE:
Your GX700 is designed for connection to negative earth electrical systems only.
SELECTING A LOCATION
It is advisable to spend a little time selecting the best location for your GX700. the radio can
be mounted to a shelf or panel using the supplied gimbal bracket. alternatively it can be flush
mounted using an optional flush mount kit.
Keep the following points in mind when choosing a location
•
the GX700 is designed to meet IPX7* standard which protects against high pressure water
spray. however we recommended you select a location that will minimise excessive exposure
to continuous rain or spray.
•
select a location that won’t expose your radio to continuous direct sunlight which could
cause overheating.
•
Ensure the location allows a free flow of air around the heat sink on the back of the radio.
•
the microphone and all controls should be readily accessible and the loud speaker easily
heard from the normal steering or driving position. an extension speaker can be installed
if required.
•
components and currents in the radio create magnetic fields. to avoid interference to
compasses, ships autopilot sensors etc, the GX700 should be mounted at least 300 mm from
such devices.
