Radio Mounting - Vertex Standard VXD series Installation Manual

3.2 Radio Mounting

DO NOT mount the radio on a plastic dashboard without first reinforcing the dashboard; the
weight of the radio may crack or break the dashboard.
DO NOT mount the radio on a flat or concave surface where the radio could be partially
submersed in water. This is especially important if the cab area of the vehicle is cleaned by
spraying with water. If the radio sits in water for a length of time, moisture may seep inside
the radio and damage the electronic components.
DO NOT allow water to stand in recessed areas of vertically mounted radios. Remove any
moisture immediately to prevent it from seeping down into the radio.
The mounting location must be accessible and visible. Select a location that will permit routing the RF
antenna cable as directly as possible.
For new or existing installations, use one of the mounting kits as specified in Table 3-1. Orient the
mounting trunnion as shown in Figure 3-3.
