Grounding Recommendations

4.4.1 Grounding the Communication Unit
The Communication Unit should be grounded to the ship/hull. For this purpose you
may use a short antenna cable and a grounding kit. A suitable grounding kit (S-67-
127570) is optionally supplied. Further, the Communication Unit must be grounded at
its grounding stud in order to ensure proper grounding if the short antenna cable is dis-
connected. For further information, see section 2.5.2.
You may need to extend the ground plane using copper foil. For further information,
see "Extending the ground plane" on page 2-27.
