Mounting and assembly considerations

Remove the Triangular Mount from the Extension Assembly and attach it to the Mounting Plate using the 3 Philips Head Machine Screws.

The Mounting Plate can be attached to the top or the bottom of the radio. You will have to remove the shoulder strap mounts. Use the side screws that hold the top or bottom covers on to attach the Mounting Plate. Start all of the screws before you tighten any of the down. If you are using a top mount configuration, be sure you align the radio’s speaker with the round speaker opening.

Use the provided sheet metal screws to anchor the Base Mount to a flat surface in the vehicle or your shack. These screws will not be appropriate to all situations. You can use #10 hardware of appropriate length. Choose a mounting location carefully especially if drilling through the floor of your vehicle.

The mounting hardware will permit you to assemble the mount in any number of positions.

DO mount the radio in easy reach of the operator

DO NOT mount it in a manner that will cause injury to yourself or your passenger in the event of a collision.

DO NOT obstruct the path of air bags.
