1. Find a appropriate location defined in section 3.2;
2. Place the mounting bracket on the location surface, use a pencil to mark
the location of four holes where the fixing screws are to go into;
Caution: Be careful not to drill through the mounting surface.
3. Remove the bracket, drill four holes smaller than the screw diameter, then
re-place the mounting bracket on the surface aligning the drilled holes;
4. Insert the four fixing screws and secure the bracket to mounting surface
using the supplied bolts, spring washers, plain washers and nuts;
Caution: if you can not reach behind the mounting surface to attach the nut
on the bolts, use the supplied self-tapping screws to fasten the bracket.
7. Insert the four fixing screws and fasten them with a Philip screw driver
with attention not to screw too tightly;
8. Mount the base station onto the bracket with notice of the matching of
the protuberances on the both inner side of the bracket and the pits on
the two sides of the base station (the selectable pits on the sides of the
radio allow you adjust the direction of the radio face to satisfy your easy-
to-read-and-use, 150for each rotation and totally 450tolerance);
9. Attach the supplied mounting knobs from the two sides of the bracket to
fixing the base station securely.
10. Caution: Keep the radio and handset at least 1 meter away from any
magnetic devices such as compass on your vessel.

The supplied universal mounting bracket allows you to mount your base
station from overhead or on dashboard with a big scope of angle as many
as 450.
Change the angle after installation:
11. Loosen the mounting knob at the sides of gimbal first.
12. Then adjust the base station to an appropriate direction with matching of
the protuberances on the inner sides of gimbal and pits on the outer sides
of base station.
13. Tighten the knob to secure.
3.5 ANTENNA MOUNTING/THE EME EXPOSURE
For optimal radio performance and minimal human exposure to radio frequency
electromagnetic energy, make sure the antenna is:
 Connected to the radio before transmitting;
 Properly mounted;
 Locate where it will be away from people:
 Locate at least three feet (91 cm) from the Base Station transceiver and
Handsets;
 Use standard type of PL259 connector
3.6 MOUNTING THE HANDSET
Find a mounting location near the base station to mount the wall hanger for handset.
The distance between the base station and the wall hanger should be less than the
length of the handset cable.
4. BASIC OPERATION
