Selecting the Mounting Position
Inspect the vehicle and determine the safest and most convenient position
for mounting the radio. Tait recommends the use of an equipment
mounting tray designed for the vehicle. These are available from
manufacturers such as Havis-Shields (www.havis.com), Jotto Desk
(www.jottodesk.com), Gamber Johnson (www.gamberjohnson.com), and
Stewart Products (www.stewartproducts.com).
Make sure that there is sufficient clearance for the heatsink and for the
cables. Check cable lengths.
Important
Do not mount the radio in areas where it can be sprayed by
a high-pressure cleaning device or temporarily submerged
from an accumulation of water or other liquids.
