CAUTION: After connecting the DC power cable, NMEA
IN/OUT leads, external speaker lead and hailer/foghorn lead,
cover the connector and leads with an adhesive tape as
shown below, to prevent water seeping into the transceiver.

Antenna

A key element in the performance of any communication sys-
tem is the antenna. Ask your dealer about antennas and the
best place to mount them.

Fuse replacement

blows or the transceiver stops functioning, track down the
source of the problem if possible, and replace the damaged
fuse with a new one of the proper rating.
