8. INSTALLATION
8.1 Transceiver Unit
The transceiver unit can be mounted on a desktop or overhead, or flush mounted in a
panel. Choose a mounting location considering the points mentioned below.
• Follow the compass safety distance shown in the safety Instructions to avoid any
interference to the compass from the speaker magnet in the transceiver.
• Select a location which provides easy access to the front panel controls.
• The location has space for installation of a microphone hanger.
• Choose a mounting location that is at least 1 m away from the radio's antenna.
• CAUTION: The heatsink can get hot enough to cause a burn injury. Select a
location where it cannot be easily touched.
Note: To insure the radio does not affect the compass and the radio's performance is
not affected by the antenna location, temporarily locate the radio in the desired loca-
tion and:
a) Examine the compass to see if the radio interferes with the compass.
b) Connect the antenna and transmit. Check to ensure the radio is operating correctly
by requesting a radio check.

Use a 5 mm bit to drill the holes to a surface that is more than 10 mm thick and can
