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:

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.
