Mounting the radio

The UM455 can sit at any angle in the mounting bracket so it can easily
accommodate the best location. First, determine the best place to mount the radio.
For optimum performance, find a location that can:
• Properly support the weight of the radio, approximately 2.2 pounds or 1.1
kilograms. You may need to use some type of anchor with the mounting screws to
hold the radio, depending on the surface.
• Keep the battery leads as short as possible.
• Keep the antenna lead-in wire as short as possible.
• Allow free air flow around the heat sink on the rear of the radio.
• Avoid interference with the ship's compass.
1. Install the radio into the mounting bracket, and connect the power cable and
accessory cable.
Step 1:
Slide the radio
into the mounting
bracket.
Step 2:
Tighten the mounting
knobs to secure the
radio in place.
