UT01910ZZ_0 9/18/03 5:37 PM Page 8 Installation Caution: The OCEANUS DSC will only operate with a nominal 12 volt negative ground battery system. It is important to carefully determine the most suitable location for your radio on your vessel. Electrical, mechanical, and environmental considerations must all be taken into account. You should select the optimum relationship among these considerations. Keep in mind the flexibility designed into the OCEANUS DSC so that you can most conveniently use it.
UT01910ZZ_0 9/18/03 5:37 PM Page 9 Engine Noise Suppression Interference from the noise generated by the electrical systems of engines is sometimes a problem with radios. The OCEANUS DSC has been designed to be essentially impervious to ignition noise and alternator noise. However, in some installations it may be necessary to take measures to further reduce the effect of noise interference.
UT01910ZZ_0 9/18/03 5:37 PM Page 10 Installing the OCEANUS DSC After you have carefully considered the various factors affecting your choice of location, position the radio (with the bracket, microphone, power cord, antenna and any auxiliary cables installed) into the selected location to assure there is no interference with the surrounding items. Mark the location of the mounting bracket.
