WARNING
CAUTION
Hazardous voltage.
Can shock, burn or cause
serious injury.
Do not work inside the equipment unless totally familiar
with electrical circuits.
Turn off the power at the mains switchboard before beginning the installation.
Post a warning sign near the switchboard
to indicate that power should not be
applied while the equipment is being
installed.
Electrical shock, serious injury or fire can
result if the power is not turned off or is
applied while the equipment is being
installed.
Ground the equipment to
prevent electrical shock
and mutual interference.
Confirm that the power supply voltage
is compatible with the voltage rating
of the equipment.
Connection to the wrong power supply
can cause fire or equipment damage.
The voltage rating appears on the label
at the rear of the display unit.
Observe the compass safe distance to
prevent deviation of a magnetic
compass.
Determine the mounting location for the transceiver unit considering
operator convenience, proximity to the power source and the ground
location. Keep these and the following points in mind when selecting
a mounting location.
• Locate the unit in a place free of water spray and water splash.
• Keep the unit out of direct sunlight because of heat that can build
up inside the unit.
• Leave a little slack in cables to allow a service technician to move
the radio from its usual location with the cables connected. This
lets him make tuning and other adjustments on a “live” set.
• Do not install the unit where flammable gases are stored.
• Select a well ventilated area.
• Ensure the mounting location is strong enough to support the weight
of the unit (6 kg) under the condition of continued vibration normally encountered aboard the vessel. If necessary, reinforce the
mounting area with a doubling plate or lining block.
• Leave sufficient space at the sides and rear of the unit for maintenance and service purposes and to provide for circulation of cooling air. The minimum service clearance appears in Figure 2.
• For flush mounting, select a location where the LCD can be eas-
ily viewed.
• The transceiver unit will affect a magnetic compass if placed too
near the compass. Observe the compass safe distance to prevent
deviation of a magnetic compass;
Standard compass: 1.6 m
Steering compass: 1.2 m
Note:
Take great care not to press the DISTRESS switch during the
installation. If you accidentally press the switch, immediately turn
off the equipment and contact appropriate authority by telephone.

Mounting procedure for tabletop, overhead and
bulkhead mounting
1. Using the hanger as a template, mark fixing holes in the mount-
ing location.
2. Fix the hanger to the mounting location with wood screws and
washers (supplied). (For added support, use nuts, bolts and washers instead of wood screws.)
3. Screw the knob bolts with washers into the transceiver unit.
4. Set the transceiver unit to the hanger and tighten knob bolts.

• All dimensions in millimeters.
• For added support, fasten hanger with nuts, bolts and wash-
ers (local supply) instead of wood screws.
• Leave sufficient space at the sides and rear of the unit to
provide easy access for maintenance and service. The minimum service clearance is shown in the figure.
