Installation; Engine Noise Suppression - Uniden MC 615 Owner's Manual

INSTAllATION
CAUTION: The MC 615 will operate only with nominal 12 volt negative ground
battery systems.
It is important to carefully determine the most suitable location for your MC 615 on your
vessel. Electrical, mechanical, and environmental considerations must all be taken into
account. You must select the optimum relationship among these considerations.
Keep in mind the flexibility designed into the MC 615 so that you can most conveniently
use your radio. Features which should be considered are:
1. Universal mounting bracket may be installed on eithertop or bottom of shelf, bulkhead,
or overhead mounting.
2. The microphone connector faces forward allowing convenient in-dash or "built-in"
installations.
3. The front panel can be fully reversed to provide for optimum viewing and operating for
any mounting position.
4. The REMOTE speaker jack may be used with an auxiliary speaker.
All. connections are "plug-in" type for easy removal of the radio.
ENGINE NOISE SUPPRESSION
Interference from the impulse noise generated by the electrical systems of engines is
sometimes a problem with radios. The MC 615 has been designed to be essentially
impervious to ignition impulse noise and alternator noise. However, in some installations
it may be necessary to take measures to further reduce the effect of noise interference.
All DC battery wires, antenna lead, and accessory cables should be routed away from the
engine and engine compartment and from power cabling carrying particularly high
currents.
In severe cases of impulse noise interference, it may be necessary to install a noise
suppression kit that is available from your Marine Dealer.
