3.1 Mounting and Removing the Control Head

Notice The control head contains devices which can be damaged by

static discharges. Always install or remove the control head in a static-safe

environment. For information on antistatic precautions, go to the Elec-

trostatic Discharge Association (ESD) website, http://www.esda.org.

Mounting the

Control Head

The control head and its connection loom are delivered separately from the

radio body. Before installing the radio, the control head should be mounted

on the radio body.

The orientation of the radio body determines which way up the control

head is mounted on the radio body.

Notice It may be necessary to mount the radio upside down to main-

tain a gap of more than 3/8 inch (10 mm) for air circulation between the

underside of the radio body and the mounting surface.
