The radio can be mounted at any angle. Choose a mounting location that:

ing due to the speaker magnet
• provides accessibility to the front panel controls
• allows connection to a power source and an antenna
• has nearby space for installation of a microphone hanger
• choose a mounting location that is at least 1 m away from the radio’s
antenna.
Note : To insure the radio does not affect the compass or radios performance is
not affected by the antenna location, temporarily connect the radio in the de-

a. Examine the compass to see if the radio causes any deviation
b. Connect the antenna and key the radio. Check to ensure the radio is
operating correctly by requesting a radio check.
