OPERATION
TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, FIRE AND
OTHER INJURY. PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:

To avoid risk of electric shock, under no

circumstances should the unit be opened.

Do not place this unit, where it will be exposed to

direct sunlight or close to heating appliances.
Do not drop pieces of metal, needles, coins and
other electrically conductive materials into the unit

CLEANING
1. Turn the power off before cleaning the unit
2. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, thinner,
benzine or any substances which may damage
the unit.
Wipe the front panel and other exterior surfaces
of the unit with a soft dry cloth or soft cloth lightly
moistened with water.

To ensure good ventilation, do not put anything on

top of the cabinet and allow at least 15 cm (6
inches) of space behind the unit.

3- 1. INSTALLATION
■MOUNTING BRACKET
When installing the SSB radiotelephone in a vessel
consider ease of operation and safety when
selecting the location for the mounting bracket

1. Install the bracket using the supplied flat washers

and self tapping screws, or spring washers and
bolts (4 each).
You may attach the supplied rubber cushion to
the bracket.

Flat washers and

self tapping screws Spring washers and bolts

2. Attach the supplied metal fittings with the 4 flat

head screws to the side of the radiotelephone.

3. Attach the supplied shoulder bolts loosely 3, 4

mm away to the side of the radiotelephone.
4. Align the grooves in the bracket with the rear
shoulder bolts and slide the radiotelephone to the
rear.
5. The angle of the bracket may be adjusted to
three of possible viewing angles. Select the
desired angle.

6. Hold the radiotelephone in place and tighten the

shoulder bolt with konb.
