The Axiom® 2 XL 24 is designed to operate in ambient temperatures of
up to 55°C / 131°F and with display surface temperatures of up to 65°C /
149°F. However, when the display is exposed to prolonged, direct sunlight
the surface of the Axiom® 2 XL 24 may exceed these temperatures. This may
cause the LCD to blackout temporarily, until the surface temperature falls to
within normal limits. To help mitigate this occurrence it is recommended that
when installing in an above decks environment the Axiom XL 24 is mounted
in a location protected from direct sunlight e.g.: underneath a hardtop or
Bimini (canvas).
Other factors that can help to reduce the surface temperature of your display
include ensuring sufficient airflow around the display and reducing the LCD's
brightness level.
6.4 GNSS (GPS) location requirements
Your product includes a built-in GNSS (GPS) receiver that, in order to obtain
a position fix, requires connection of an external passive antenna, such as
the GA150 antenna.
Ensure you follow the location requirements specified in your external
antenna's installation instructions.

6.5 Touchscreen location requirements
Note:
Touchscreen performance can be affected by the installation environment,
specifically Touchscreen displays installed above decks, where it will be
open to the elements may exhibit the following:
• Hot Touchscreen temperature — If the display is mounted where it will
be exposed to prolonged periods of direct sunlight, the touchscreen
may become hot.
• Erroneous Touchscreen performance — Exposure to prolonged rain and
/ or water wash over may cause the display to respond to 'false touches',
caused by the rain/water hitting the screen.
If, due to the required installation location, exposure to these elements is
anticipated then it is recommended that you consider:
• Installing a remote keypad such as the RMK-10 and operating the display
remotely — Touch -only displays.
• Locking the Touchscreen and using the physical buttons instead —
HybridTouch displays.
• Attaching a third-party 'display hood accessory' to reduce direct sunlight
exposure and the volume of water that the display is exposed to.
6.6 Wireless location requirements for optimum
performance
All wireless devices in your system must be located in such a way that they
can reliably receive and/or transmit wireless signals.
A number of factors can influence wireless performance. For example,
physical obstacles and certain vessel structures and materials can all
negatively impact wireless performance. Therefore, it's important to check a
product's wireless performance at the desired installation location before
drilling any mounting holes.
Vessel construction and materials
Wherever possible, mount products on surfaces constructed from GRP (e.g.
fiberglass resin, or foam), or on dry wooden bulkheads.
