Vertical Remote Mount Units

NOTE
The Bluetooth antenna in the GTX 345 is at the front of the unit and must point to the
passenger area to provide the best Bluetooth connection. Bluetooth performance from a
remote unit can be limited due to obstructions in the aircraft. In this situation, better
performance can be obtained by using a Flight Stream 110/210.
The GTX 3X5 vertical remote mount base is installed in the vertical orientation with six #10-32 100° flat-
head screws and locking nuts. Refer to figure B-6 for mounting hole spacing dimensions. The base may
also be used as a template to mark or drill the mounting holes.
Point the wedge-shaped end of the vertical remote mount shoe to the back of the unit. Attach the vertical
remote mount shoe to the unit with the four screws provided. Torque the screws to 15-16 in-lbs.
Attach the connectors and optional GAE, if used, to the connector backplate the same way as panel mount
units. Refer to section 4.7.1.

At least eight screws are required to secure the rack as shown in figure B-7. Refer to G1000 System
Installation Manual. Attach the connectors and optional GAE, if used, to the connector backplate the same
way as panel mount units. Refer to section 4.7.1.
