HF-90 Operation & Installation Guide
Vehicle systems
All HF-90s which are purchased as part of a Vehicle
Package are supplied with a Quick Reference Guide, which
explains how you can get the best results from your radio
and antenna system.
Those users who are not supplied with a complete Vehicle
Package or Quick Reference Guide should observe the
following check-list.
Positioning the HF-90
Ensure that the HF-90 is mounted in a position which
allows easy access for operation. In addition, the
loudspeaker should be positioned close to where the
operator will sit.
The HF-90 must be mounted in a position which
allows a free flow of air through the rear heatsink
(cooling fins).
When mounting the HF-90 in a vehicle you should
use the Q-MAC HF-90 Mounting Cradle. Assembly
instructions are provided with each cradle.
In a vehicle installation the HF-90 may be mounted
under the dashboard of the vehicle, in the centre
console, up against the centre console (with the front
panel facing upward) or in an overhead shelf/console.
The HF-90 should not be mounted on top of a vehicle
dashboard where it is exposed to direct sunlight. In
some places, the temperature within a car can reach
temperatures in excess of 60°C. The top of the
dashboard is usually the hottest part of a vehicle.
