Gimbal Installation

1.Hold the mounting gimbal at the chosen location and use a soft pencil to mark the screw hole positions onto the mounting surface.

2.If you cannot reach behind the mounting surface to attach the nuts, use the 5mm self-tapping screws instead of the ﬂat screws shown in the picture. If you are drilling into ﬁberglass, use a drill bit smaller than 5mm to drill the pilot holes.

Otherwise, drill the four screw holes where marked, using a 5mm (3/16”) drill bit. Drill completely through the mounting surface.

3.Use a Philips screwdriver and the set of four ﬂat screws, spring washers, plain washers, and nuts to attach the mounting gimbal to the location site.

4.Slide the radio into the mounting gimbal.

5.Insert the two mounting knobs through the holes and tighten them suﬃciently to hold the radio at the desired viewing angle.
