should be programmed into the MX575 to calibrate its heading. Obviously, the
physical orientation of the MX575 could be adjusted to correct for this deviation.

MX575 Mounting Guidelines
•
Install the MX575 where it has a clear view of the sky around it.
•
Locate the MX575 for easy access and maintenance.
•
Stay away from high-power energy sources such as radar, SSB, INMARSAT
and other transmitting radio antennas by 5 meters or more.
•
Locate the MX575 at least 10 meters away from and out of the transmitting
beam of radar and other high-power transmitters.
•
Mount the MX575 low to avoid excessive position and speed errors while
underway.
•
Mount the MX575 as far away as possible from large metal structures.
Note: If you are not sure if the chosen location is appropriate, you can mount the MX575
temporarily and operate it with the MX420 CDU. Monitor the operation of the MX575 while you
turn on other on-board electronic equipment. Move the MX575 around until the MX575 operates
satisfactorily then mount it permanently.
