#NOTE: Use this feature with caution. Deactivating automatic switching and then forgetting it
can make it hard for you to receive DSC calls.
If you have unread incoming DSC calls, the radio displays a message icon. You will be able
to review who has called. The radio displays the last 10 distress calls and the last 20 non-
distress calls it received (see the receive log on page 24).
INSTALLING THE HARDWARE
Your radio can sit at any angle in the mounting bracket so it can easily accommodate the best
location. First, determine the best place to mount the radio. For optimum performance, find a
location that can:
x Properly support the weight of the radio, approximately 2.2 pounds or 1.0 kilograms.
You may need to use some type of anchor with the mounting screws to hold the radio,
depending on the surface.
x Keep the battery leads as short as possible.
x Keep the antenna lead-in wire as short as possible.
x Allow free air flow around the heat sink on the rear of the radio.
x Avoid interference with the ship’s compass.
1. Install the radio into the mounting bracket.
2. Position the radio into
the desired location.
Mark the edges of
the bracket on the
mounting surface.
3. Remove the mounting
bracket drill template
from the back of the
manual, and use the
template to mark
the drill holes on the
mounting surface.
4. Drill the holes for the
mounting bracket;
be sure to follow any
special requirements
of the mounting surface.
5. Remove the bracket from the radio,
and use the mounting hardware to secure the
bracket to the mounting surface.
6. Install the radio back into the mounting
bracket.
