Step 1: Select a Location for the VHF 100/200 Series Radio
Consider the following when you select an installation location:
Provides optimal viewing.
Allows easy access to the radio controls and handset.
Is strong enough to support the weight of the radio and protect it from excessive vibration or shock.

behind the case.
Is located at least 20 in. (500 mm) from a magnetic compass.
Is in an area that minimizes exposure to extreme weather conditions.
NOTE: The temperature range for the VHF 100/200 series radios is from 14°F to 122°F (from -10°C to 50°C). Extended exposure to temperatures
outside this range (in storage or operating conditions) may cause failure of the LCD screen or other components. This type of failure and related
consequences are not covered by the manufacturer’s limited warranty.
Step 2: Mount the VHF 100/200 Series Radio
You can mount your radio in one of two ways:
Bail Mount—mount the radio onto the bracket that attaches to the console or overhead.
Flush Mount—use the ush-mount kit to mount the radio into a at panel.
