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 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.

Surface Mount

A Surface Mounting kit is included with your CobraMarine VHF radio to allow its installation on almost any flat surface.

Surface Mounting Kit	To Mount The Transceiver
	On Almost Any Flat Surface:

1. Use the mounting bracket as a template to drill holes for the mounting screws.

2. Attach the mounting bracket to the chosen surface.

3. Attach the transceiver to the mounting bracket with the locking knobs.

4. Tilt the transceiver to a convenient angle and tighten the locking knobs.
