Mounting And Powering The Radio

•

 

Before using your CobraMarine VHF radio, it must be installed on your vessel.

Installing Your Radio

Choose a location for your radio where it will be conveniently accessible with the following factors in mind:

■The leads to the battery and the antenna are best kept as short as possible.

■The antenna must be mounted at least three (3) feet from the transceiver.

■The radio and all speakers need to be far enough from any magnetic compass to avoid deviation due to the speaker magnet.

■There needs to be free air flow around the heat-sink fins on the back of the transceiver.
