2.1.1 Initial inspection
Inspect the shipping carton immediately upon receipt for evidence of damage during
transport. If the shipping carton is severely damaged or water stained, request that the
carrier's agent be present when opening the carton. Save the carton packing material
for future use.
After unpacking the system, inspect it thoroughly for hidden damage and loose
components or fittings. If the contents are incomplete, if there is mechanical damage
or defect, or if the system does not work properly, notify your dealer.
2.2 Installing the VHF radio
You can mount the VHF radio as a desktop, overhead or flush-mounted unit integrated
in the instrument panel.
Provide space enough to access the front panel connectors and for installing a cradle
for the speaking device.
Provide at least 120 mm space at the back of the SAILOR 6249 VHF Survival Craft radio
to allow free air circulation and for cable access.
Cable requirements
All cables attached to the SAILOR 6249 VHF Survival Craft must be shielded. Every
shield should have a low impedance connection to an electrical ground.
Before using the SAILOR 6249 VHF Survival Craft for the first time, check that all cables
are correctly wired and fastened.
Compass safe distance
Make sure that the VHF radio is far enough from any magnetic compass to avoid
influence of the loudspeaker magnet on the compass reading. See the following table
WARNING! To avoid electric shock, do not apply
power to the system if there is any sign of shipping
damage to any part of the front or rear panel or the
outer cover. Read the safety summary at the front of
this manual before installing or operating the system.
