SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Do not open the cover
unless totally familiar with
electrical circuits.
Hazardous voltage which will
cause death or serious injury
exists inside the equipment.
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.
CAUTION
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 disatnce to
prevent deviation of a magnetic
compass.

Transceiver Unit
3. Mounting
General mounting considerations
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.
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 4 sets of tapping
screw, washer, space and two kinds of bushing.
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 washers (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.

The mounting procedure for flush mount (option)
Requires flush mount kit OP05-73 (optional supply). Prepare a cutout in the mounting location whose dimensions are as shown in the
Figure 3.

• Ensure the mounting location is strong enough support the weight
of the unit (2.7 kg) under the condition of continued vibration normally encountered aboard the vesssel. If necessay, 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.

Mounting the unit
Mount the unit with four tapping screws supplied.

VHF Antenna
The antenna requirements
Any good quality antenna meeting the requirements shown below
may be used. A high-gain antenna is preferable.
• Frequency range: 155 to 164 MHz
• Impedance: 50 ohms
• Polarization: Vertical
• Handling power: 30 W/ min
• Quality: Able to withstand marine environment
Mounting considerations
• The antenna should be well separated from nearby antennas, masts,
and other interfering objects.
• The higher the antenna is mounted above the horizon, the further
the communications range.
Mounting procedure
CH70 Rx Antenna
Handset Hanger
The basic mounting procedure for antennas supplied by FURUNO is
as follows, however consult appropriate outline drawing for details.
1. Fasten the antenna bracket to the stanchion.
2. Set the antenna to the antenna bracket and tighten bolts.
3. Screw the coaxial cable plug into the antenna.
The antenna should be well separated from nearby antennas, masts,
and other interfering objects.
The mounting procedure is the same as that for the VHF antenna,
however consult appropriate outline drawing for details.
The handset hanger can be mounted at the front or rear of the transceiver unit. To mount the hanger at the rear of the unit, a connector
and connector assembly are required (option). The mounting location should provide easy access to front panel controls while operating the handset. Also, the length of the standard handset cable is 50
cm, so locate the handset hanger within 50 cm of the unit. (Longer
cables are available optionally.)
8
Power Supply (option)
For Convention vessels, both AC and DC power must be fed to the
FM-8700, via an AC/DC power supply. When AC input fails, DC
power is supplied. FURUNO can supply an AC/DC power supply
unit, the PR-300.
Mounting considerations
When selecting a mounting location, keep in mind the following
points.
• Select a location which provides adequate ventilation.
• The location must be clean and dry.
• The mounting location must be able to support the weight of the
unit (14.5 kg) under the continued conditions of vibration normally
encountered aboard the vessel. If necessary, reinforce the mounting location.
Mounting
Refer to outline drawing.
Printer Interface (option)
Printer Interface IF-8700 is connected between the printer PP-510
and the transceiver unit. See outline drawing on page D-11.
Printer (option)
Refer to the printer outline drawing on page D-12 for mounting
dimensions.
Lay the printer on a tabletop and fix it with printer fixtures 1 and 2.

External Loudspeaker (option)
The external loudspeaker can be installed on a tabletop, the overhead
or a bulkhead. Fasten the loudspeaker to the mounting location with
tapping screw , or nuts, bolts and washers. For mounting dimensions,
see the outline drawing on page D-9.
