8 INSTALLATION
8.1LOCATION
The radio can be mounted at any angle. Choose a mounting location that:
•is far enough from any compass to avoid any deviation in compass read- ing due to the speaker magnet
•provides accessibility to the front panel controls
•allows connection to a power source and an antenna
•has nearby space for installation of a microphone hanger
•the antenna must be mounted at least 3 feet from radio
Note: To insure the radio does not affect the compass or radios performance is not affected by the antenna location, temporarily connect the radio in the desired location and:
a. Examine the compass to see if the radio causes any deviation
b. Connect the antenna and key the radio. Check to ensure the radio is operating correctly by requesting a radio check.
