Mounting considerations

Choose a location where the controls be easily operated.
Leave sufficient maintenance space around the unit to facilitate checking and
maintenance. See the outline drawing at the back of the manual for recommended
maintenance space.

The operating temperature range is -15°C to 55°C (5°F to 131°F).
Locate the unit well away from exhaust gases and other active gases.
The location should be well ventilated.
Choose a location where shock and vibration are minimal.
Be sure the mounting location is strong enough to support the weight of the unit,
particularly in overhead mounting. If necessary reinforce the mounting location.
A magnetic compass will be affected if the display unit is placed too close to the compass.
Observe the following compass safe distances to prevent deviation to the compass.
Standard compass, 0.75 m, Steering compass, 0.50 m.
