Warning
Safe radio mounting!
Mount the radio securely so that it will not break loose in
■
the event of a collision. An unsecured radio is dangerous
to the vehicle occupants.
Mount the radio and the microphone where they will not
■
interfere with the deployment of airbags, the vehicle
operator controls, the vehicle operator's view.
Caution The bottom surface of the radio and the heatsink fins can
become hot during prolonged operation. When installing the radio,
position the radio so that it is not possible for the radio user to touch the
bottom surface of the radio and the heatsink fins.
Notice It may be necessary to mount the radio upside down to main-
tain a gap of more than 3/8 inch (10 mm) between the bottom surface
of the radio body and the mounting surface.
Notice However, do not mount the radio in areas where it can be
temporarily submerged from an accumulation of water or other liquids
(e.g. when using a high-pressure cleaning device).
the control head is removed from the radio body
the bungs are removed from the auxiliary connector or the cavity for the
external options connector (fitting an auxiliary connector or external
options connector will not restore the IP54 protection class)
the grommet of the microphone or hand-held control head is not
installed
an accessory is added which is not rated to IP54 (e.g. control-head
interface box or hand-held control head remote interface box)
