1. DECIDE WHERE TO INSTALL THE RADIO BASE STATION
Before you install the radio base station, you should find a mounting location for it that:
Does not allow the radio to interfere with, nor receive interference from,
nearby equipment, such as other RF equipment and magnetic compasses;
Provides accessibility to the front panel controls;
Allows connection to a power supply and an antenna;
Has free space nearby for installing the microphone mounting bracket;
Is located so that the base of the antenna can be mounted at least 3.3 feet
(1 meter) from where people will be when the radio is operating.
WARNING: Failure to comply with the above requirement may expose those closer than the
recommended boundaries to absorb enough RF radiation to exceed the Maximum Permissible
Exposure (MPE) limit defined by the FCC. It is the responsibility of the radio operator to make
sure that both the radio operator and any other people in the vicinity of the radio comply with
MPE limits while the radio is transmitting.
The supplied gimbal mounting bracket allows you to mount your radio base station on
any near horizontal surface, from overhead to any console or countertop on your boat.
