Installation options
There are two mounting options for the radio:
•
Bracket mount:
Using the supplied gimballing bracket the radio can be mounted to
either sit on top of, or hang underneath any flat horizontal surface.
The radio can be removed for storage and the viewing angle can be
adjusted.
•
Flush mount:
The radio is recessed into a cavity, showing only the face of the
radio. The radio fixture is permanent and the viewing angle cannot
be adjusted.
Selecting a suitable mounting location
Whichever installation method you choose, please check the follow-
ing before doing any cutting or drilling. The chosen location must:
•
Be at least 1 m (3’) from the antenna
•
Allow easy access to the rear of the radio for connection to the 12 V
DC electrical source, the antenna and any network wiring
•
Be at least 45 cms (1.5’) from a compass to avoid creating magnetic
deviation of the compass.
•
Have a suitable space close by for installing the microphone
bulkhead mount
•
Provide easy access to the controls on the front panel
•
If intending to use the built-in GPS antenna, it must be in a
location that provides optimal GPS performance, see “Built-in GPS
considerations” on page 34.
Viewing angle
The VHF radio has a large LCD screen with the optimum horizontal
and vertical viewing angles within approx. +/-20 deg. Ensure the
chosen location provides a suitable view of the display. Ideally, the
user should be directly in front of the display or no more than +/-20
deg from the front of the display.

Note:
If unsure, temporarily power up the radio and ensure the loca-
tion is suitable.
