Mounting the radio
The UM425 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, nd a location that can:
Properly support the weight of the radio, approximately 2 pounds or
0.9 kilograms. You may need to use some type of anchor with the
mounting screws to hold the radio, depending on the surface.
Keep the battery leads as short as possible.
Keep the antenna lead-in wire as short as possible.
Allow free air ow around the heat sink on the rear of the radio.
Avoid interference with the ship’s compass.
Install the radio into the mounting bracket, and connect the 1. power
