Kenwood TM-451A - Manual (Page 10)

PREPARATION FOR MOBILE OPERATION
When operating mobile, do not attempt to configure your
transceiver or change Menu settings while driving
because it is simply too dangerous. Stop the car first,
then make the necessary changes. Also, be aware of
local laws pertaining to the use of headphones/headsets
while driving on public roads. If in doubt, do not wear
headphones while mobiling.
MOBILE INSTALLATION
Install the transceiver in a safe, convenient position
inside your vehicle that minimizes danger to your
passengers and yourself while the vehicle is in motion.
For example, consider installing the transceiver under the
dash in front of the passenger seat so that knees or legs
will not strike the transceiver during sudden braking of
your vehicle. Try to pick a well-ventilated location that is
shielded from direct sunlight.
Installation Example
1 Install the mounting bracket using the supplied flat
washers and self-tapping screws. There are 4
washers and 4 screws supplied.
• The bracket can be mounted with the bracket
opening for the transceiver facing down for
underdash mounting, or with the opening facing
up.
• If mounted underdash, the bracket must be
installed so that the 3 screw holes on the edge
of each bracket side are facing forward. This
allows you to mount the transceiver horizontally
or to angle it upward.
• If mounted with the bracket opening facing
upward, position the bracket with the 3 holes
facing forward to angle the transceiver upward.
Position the bracket with the 3 holes facing the
rear if you plan to angle the transceiver
downward. The transceiver can be mounted
horizontally, angled neither up nor down, with the
bracket positioned either way.
