Gme GX294 User Manual download pdf (Page 7)

It is advisable to spend a little time selecting

the best location for your GX294. The

transceiver should normally be mounted

horizontally, but may be mounted vertically if

desired. The bracket supplied can be fitted

above or below the case allowing the GX294

to be cradled by the bracket or suspended

from it. Alternatively, the GX294 can be flush

mounted to a panel or bulkhead.

When choosing a suitable location, consider

the following points:

1. Install the GX294 in a sheltered position.

The design of the GX294 provides

protection against accidental splashes and

drips, but the equipment is not totally

waterproof. Exposure to heavy rain,

continuous spray or immersion will result in

damage to the transceiver.

2. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight for

prolonged periods which could cause

overheating.

3. Choose a spot where the microphone and

all controls are easily accessible and the

loudspeaker can be heard from the normal

steering position. An extension speaker

may be installed if required.

4. Components and currents flowing in the

GX294 create magnetic fields. To avoid

interference to steering compasses or auto

pilot sensors, the GX294 should be

positioned at least half a meter (50cm) from

such equipment.

MOUNTING

Your GX294 can be either mounted on a shelf

or flush mounted into a bulkhead or panel. If

flush mounting the GX294 we recommend you

use the optional MK200W flush mounting kit

available from your GME branch or dealer.

This will help give a professional appearance

to your installation.

Shelf Mounting

Attach the bracket above or below the shelf

as desired using the screws provided. Secure

the radio to the bracket by means of the

thumb screws. Remember that the fixings for

overhead mounting may have to withstand

heavy pounding when the vessel is in rough

water or being towed on a trailer.

Flush Mounting

Using the MK200W flush mounting kit:

If using the optional MK200W flush mounting

kit, simply follow the instructions provided

with the kit. The fully self supporting design of

the MK200W greatly simplifies installation and

provides a professional finish.

Using the standard mounting bracket:

If flush mounting the GX294 using the

standard mounting bracket, we recommend

the following procedure:

1. Cut a slot in the bulkhead or panel 172mm

wide x 52mm high. The corners of the slot

should be rounded to fit neatly with the

shape of the GX294’s case.
