3.1 FREQUENCY AND DEVIATION TESTS

FCC Regulations require that the radio's deviation and frequency be tested
before initial installation or operation. This test should be performed by a
Certified Marine Technician.

3.2 LOCATION

1. The radio can be mounted at any angle. Choose a mounting location
that:
• is far enough from any compass to avoid erroneous compass reading
due to the speaker magnet
• provides protection from sea spray and rain
• provides accessibility to the front panel controls
• allows connection to a power source and an antenna
• has nearby space for installation of a microphone hanger
• antenna can be mounted at least 3 feet from radio
2. After the location is determined, choose the viewing angle of the front
panel. If the transceiver is mounted overhead, it is probably preferable
to tilt the face down for better viewing. If it is mounted below eye level
on a flat surface, it is probably preferable to tilt the face upward. The
face can be tilted up or down as illustrated in Figure 1.
To change the viewing angle:
a. Remove the four screws on the rear sleeve case of the transceiver.
b. Push the transceiver from the rear towards the front of the sleeve case
and remove it.
