Radio Mounting Procedures
The following procedures are used to mount the radio in front mount
applications.
1. Using the bracket as a template, mark and drill the mounting
holes using a No. 31 (1/8) drill bit. Be sure to leave enough
room at the rear of the radio unit for the cable connections and
air flow.
Be careful to avoid damaging some vital part (fuel tank,
transmission housing, etc.) of the vehicle when drilling mounting
holes. Always check to see how far the mounting screws will
extend below the mounting surface before installing.
If pilot holes must be drilled, remove all metal shavings from
drilling holes before installing screws.
2. Mount bracket with four 3/4" sheet metal screws provided (use
1-1/2" screws if needed).
3. Place radio into mounting bracket and secure with the four M4 x
10 mm Phillip’s screws, M4 flat washers and M4 lock washers
supplied. The radio can be fastened in any of three different
positions: parallel to the mounting surface or tilted slightly from
the parallel position.
4. Connect antenna coaxial cable to antenna connector (TNC).
5. Insert power cable into power connector on rear of radio unit and
push until the connectors snap together.
6. Recheck all connections and then reinsert fuses into the fuse
assemblies on the power cable.
