8.2 MOUNTING THE RADIO

8.2.1 Supplied Universal Mounting Bracket

The supplied universal mounting bracket allows overhead or desktop mounting.
Use a 5.2-mm (17/64") bit to drill the holes to a surface which is more 10 mm thick and can
support more than 5 kg and secure the bracket with the supplied screws, spring washers,
flat washers, and nuts.

8.2.2 Optional MMB-84 Flush Mount Bracket

1. To assist in flush mounting, a template has been included. Use this template to
assess the mounting location.
2. Use the template to mark the location where the rectangular hole is to be cut. Confirm
the space behind the dash or panel is deep enough to accommodate the transceiver
(at least 15 cm deep).
There should be at least 1.5 cm between the transceiver's heatsink and any wiring,
cables or structures.
3. Cut out the rectangular hole and insert the transceiver.
4. Fasten the brackets to the sides of the transceiver with the lock washer nut
combination; so that the mounting screw base faces the mounting surface (see
Figure 2).
5. Turn the adjusting screw to adjust the tension so that the transceiver is tight against
the mounting surface.
