Insert the main part of the gland into the thread in the radio body and tighten until there is
full contact and the gasket is fully contained between the gland and the radio and cannot be
seen. Tighten the gland gently and make sure there is no resistance. If there is resistance,
stop immediately, and thread out the gland. Verify that the gland thread is not damaged and
tighten the gland again.
Caution
Pay attention that the gland rubber is properly located and not damaged during the
tightening of the gland cap. If the gland thread is damaged, do not use it!

Tighten the rear portion of the gland onto the main part of the gland and make sure that the
main part of the gland does not have an additional swivel after the rear portion is secured.
Note
If the main portion of the gland is rotated while the rear portion is seizing the cable,
this may ruin the cable connector.

Secure the cable to the lip of the gland using a tie wrap.
