Built-in GPS considerations
1.
The built-in GPS antenna is mounted in the front face of this radio
above the speaker grill.
2.
If you intend to use the built-in GPS Antenna in this radio, you
must ensure a suitable mounting location that allows optimal GPS
performance.
3.
There must not be any metallic or large obstacles in the path
between the radio and the sky. The more obstacles in the way, the
weaker the GPS signal getting to the antenna.
4.
If the radio is mounted in an alloy or ferrous boat, or below decks,
then an external GPS antenna is recommended. Seek professional
guidance if unsure.
Bracket installation
The gimbal bracket provides an adjustable viewing angle with a 20º
tilt range, so ensure the selected mounting location will provide the
desired viewing and operating conditions:
1.
Hold the bracket at the chosen location and use a soft pencil to
mark the screw hole positions onto the mounting surface.
2.
Use a 3 mm (1/8” ) drill bit to drill the 4 pilot holes.
3.
Using a Phillips screwdriver, secure the bracket using the supplied
4x25 mm selftapping screws to the mounting location.
4.
Fit the radio into the bracket.
5.
Insert the two mounting knobs through the holes and tighten them
sufficiently to hold the radio at the desired viewing angle.
6.
Fit the mounting clips to the front of the radio to cover dash mount
screw holes.
