MOUNTING THE RADIO
Mount the radio on your vessel:
1.
Find a appropriate location defined in section 3.2;
2.
Place the mounting bracket on the location surface, use a pencil to mark the
location of four holes where the fixing screws are to go into;
3.
Caution: Be careful not to drill through the mounting surface.
4.
Remove the bracket, drill four holes smaller than the screw diameter, then
re-place the mounting bracket on the surface aligning the drilled holes;
5.
Insert the four fixing screws and secure the bracket to mounting surface
using the supplied bolts, spring washers, plain washers and nuts;
6.
Caution: if you can not reach behind the mounting surface to attach the nut
on the bolts, use the supplied self-tapping screws to fasten the bracket.
7.
Insert the four fixing screws and fasten them with a Philip screw-driver with
attention not to screw too tightly;
8.
Mount the base station onto the bracket with notice of the matching of the
protuberances on the both inner side of the bracket and the pits on the two
sides of the base station (the selectable pits on the sides of the radio allow
you adjust the direction of the radio face to satisfy your easy-to-read-and-
use, 15
0
for each rotation and totally 45
0
tolerance);
9.
Attach the supplied mounting knobs from the two sides of the bracket to fix
the base station securely.
Caution
:
Keep
the radio and handset at least 1 meter away from any
magnetic devices such as compass on your vessel.
The supplied universal mounting bracket allows you to mount your base
station from overhead or on dashboard with a big scope of angle as many
as 45
0
.
To change the angle after installation:
10. Loosen the mounting knob at the sides of gimbal, first.
11. Then adjust the base station to an appropriate direction with matching of the
protuberances on the inner sides of gimbal and pits on the outer sides of
base station.
12. Tighten the knob to secure.
3.5 ANTENNA
MOUNTING/THE
EME
EXPOSURE
For optimal radio performance and minimal human exposure to radio frequency
electromagnetic energy, make sure the antenna is:
• Connected to the radio before transmitting;
• Properly mounted;
• Locale where it will be away from people:
• Locate at least three feet (91 cm) from the Base Station transceiver and
Handsets;
• Use standard type of PL259 connector
3.6
MOUNTING THE HANDSET
Find a mounting location near the base station to mount the wall hanger for
handset. The distance between the base station and the wall hanger should be
less than the length of the handset cable.
