The installation U-bracket described in this guide has been designed so that

there is enough airflow around the radio to provide cooling.

If a non-standard installation method is used, care must be taken that

sufficient heat can be dissipated from the heatsink fins and the ridged bottom

surface of the radio.

For this to be achieved, there must be a gap of more than 3/8 inch (10 mm)

between the bottom surface of the radio chassis and the mounting surface.

This is illustrated in the following diagram:

The radios are designed to operate only in a negative earth system.
