Mounting Considerations
• The stereo must be mounted on a flat surface.
• The stereo must be mounted in a location that allows open
airflow around the rear of the stereo for heat ventilation.
• If you are installing the stereo in a location that may be
exposed to water, it must be mounted within 45 degrees
below or 15 degrees above the horizontal plane.
• If you are installing the stereo in a location that may be
exposed to water, you should install any connected cables
with a drip loop to allow water to drip down off the cable and
avoid damage to the stereo.
• If you need to mount the stereo outside a boat, it must be
mounted in a location far above the waterline, where it is not
submerged.
• If you need to mount the stereo outside a boat, it should be
mounted in a location where it cannot be damaged by docks,
pilings, or other pieces of equipment.
• To avoid interference with a magnetic compass, the stereo
should be installed at least 15 cm (5.9 in.)
away from a
compass.
Mounting the Stereo
NOTICE
Be careful when cutting the hole to mount the stereo. There is
only a small amount of clearance between the case and the
mounting holes, and cutting the hole too large could
compromise the stability of the stereo after it is mounted.
Be careful when installing the stereo in an aluminum boat or a
boat with a conductive hull, if you require the electrical system to
be isolated from the boat hull.
Do not apply grease or lubricant to the screws when fastening
the stereo to the mounting surface. Grease or other lubricants
can cause damage to the stereo housing.
Before you can mount the stereo in a new location on the
mounting surface, you must select a location in accordance with
the mounting considerations.
1
Trim the template and make sure it fits at the mounting
location.
2
Adhere the template to the mounting surface.
3
Using a drill bit appropriate for the mounting surface, drill a
hole inside the corner of the dashed line on the template to
prepare the mounting surface for cutting.
4
Using a rotary-cutting tool, cut the mounting surface along
the inside of the dashed line on the template.
5
Place the stereo in the cutout
À
to test the fit.
