4 INSTALLATION
4.1 FREQUENCY AND DEVIATION TESTS
FCC regulations require that the transceiver’s deviation and frequency be
tested before initial installation or operation. This test should be performed
by a Certified Marine Technician.
4.2 LOCATION
1. The transceiver can be mounted at any angle. Choose a mounting
location that:
• is far enough from any compass to avoid erroneous compass
reading due to the speaker magnet
• provides protection from sea spray and rain
• provides accessibility to the front panel controls
• allows connection to a power source and an antenna
• has nearby space for installation of a microphone hanger
2. Install the unit in accordance with paragraph 4.3 or 4.4.
In each appears an instruction to connect the power supply and
antenna. Where that appears, the following three steps should be
