Changing the Viewing Angle
The viewing angle has a 20º tilt range. To change the current viewing angle on a gimbal mount:
1. Support the radio then loosen the mounting knobs until the radio can be moved.
2. Re-position the radio then tighten the mounting knobs again.
Recessed Installation (picture below)
1. Tape the installation template onto the chosen location site.
2. Cut out the area marked by the solid dark line. (The dashed line indicates the total area that will be
covered by the radio fascia after installation.)
3. Remove the installation template and slide the radio into the cavity.
4. Working from the rear of the bulkhead, align the racheted outstand on each side of the radio with the
central hole in each mounting bracket.
5. Use the two short M5x10 screws to screw the mounting brackets to the sides of the radio.
6. Slide each M5x32 screw through the screw hole in the mounting bracket, then attach the lock nut and
the stopper. If your bulkhead exceeds 13mm, the stopper nut can be discarded if necessary.
7. Tighten the M5x32 screws until the radio is held against the rear of the bulkhead.
8. Tighten up the lock nuts to secure the installation.
Connecting the Radio
There are three sockets at the rear of the radio, as shown. The combined power & speaker socket and the
GPS socket have short connectors already in place but further electrical wiring is required at the rear of the
radio.
