9 CONNECTIONS AND MAINTENANCE
■ Supplied accessories
■ Antenna
A key element in the performance of any communication sys-
tem is the antenna. Ask your dealer about antennas and the
best place to mount them.
■ Fuse replacement
One fuse is installed in the supplied DC power cable. If a fuse
blows or the transceiver stops functioning, track down the
source of the problem, if possible, and replace the damaged
fuse with a new one of the proper rating.
■ Mounting the transceiver
DD
Using the supplied mounting bracket
The universal mounting bracket supplied with your transceiver
allows overhead or dashboard mounting.
• Mount the transceiver securely with the 2 supplied screws
(5 × 20) to a surface which is more than 10 mm thick and
can support more than 5 kg.
• Mount the transceiver so that the face of the transceiver is at
90° to your line of sight when operating it.
CAUTION: KEEP the transceiver and microphone at least
1 meter away from your vessel’s magnetic navigation com-
pass.
NOTE: Check the installation angle; the function display
may not be easy-to-read at some angles.
