16 Installing the Radio

collision. An unsecured radio is dangerous to the vehicle occupants.

the deployment of passenger airbags
the vehicle operator controls
the vehicle operator's view.
It may be necessary to mount the radio upside down to maintain a
gap of more than 3/8 inch (10 mm) between the bottom surface of
the radio body and the mounting surface.
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 microphone grommet is not installed.
