3.1 Mounting and Removing the Control Head
Notice
The control head contains devices which can be damaged by
static discharges. Always install or remove the control head in a static-safe
environment. For information on antistatic precautions, go to the Elec-
trostatic Discharge Association (ESD) website, http://www.esda.org.
Mounting the
Control Head The control head and its connection loom are delivered separately from the
radio body. Before installing the radio, the control head should be mounted
on the radio body.
The orientation of the radio body determines which way up the control
head is mounted on the radio body.
Notice
It may be necessary to mount the radio upside down to main-
tain a gap of more than 3/8 inch (10 mm) for air circulation between the
underside of the radio body and the mounting surface.
