It is important to carefully determine the most suitable location for your MC480 on your vessel. Electrical, mechanical, and environmental considerations must all be taken into account. You must select the optimum relationship among these considerations. Keep in mind the flexibility designed into the MC480 so that you can most conveniently use your radio.

.-'-- J-..- ".-.---. .-...-.-...-------") Some of the more important external factors to consider in selecting the location of your MC480 are: 1. Select a location that is free from spray and splash. 2. Keep the battery leads as short as possible. Connection directly to the battery is most desirable. If direct connection cannot be made with the supplied power lead, any extension should be made with #10 AWG wire. Long extensions should use larger wire. 3. Keep the antenna lead as short as possible.
-~ --'-"" ,~~".- ENGINE NOISE SUPPRESSION Interference from the impulse noise generated by the electrical systems of engines is sometimes a problem with radios. The MC480 has been designed to be essentially impervious to ignition impulse noise and alternator noise. However, in some installations it may be necessary to take measures to further reduce the effect of noise interference.

Due to the rugged design, very little maintenance is required, however, a few precautions should be observed. If your radio has been accidentally subjected to spray or splash you should immediately wipe it down with a soft cloth dampened with fresh water. If the antenna has been damaged, you should not transmit except in case of emergency.
