•
Before using your CobraMarine VHF radio, it must be installed on your vessel.
Installing Your Radio
Choose a location for your radio where it will be conveniently accessible with the
following factors in mind:
■
The leads to the battery and the antenna are best kept as short as possible.
■
The antenna must be mounted at least three (3) feet from the transceiver.
■
The radio and all speakers need to be far enough from any magnetic
compass to avoid deviation due to the speaker magnet.
■
There needs to be free air flow around the heat-sink fins on the back
of the transceiver.
