Uniden PRESIDENT LTD 950 - Manual (Page 4)

INSTALLATION
CAUTION: The LTD 950 wilt operate only with nominal i2 volt negative
ground battery systems.
It is important to carefully determine the most suitable location for your
LTD 950 on your vessel. Electrical, mechanical, and environmental
considerations must all be taken into account. You must select the
optimum relationship among these considerations.
Keep in mind the flexibility designed into the LTD 950 so that you can
most conveniently use your radio. Features which should be considered
are:
1. The universal mounting bracket may be installed on either the top or
bottom of a shelf, on a bulkhead, or for overhead mounting.
2. The REMOTE speaker jack can be used with an auxiliary speaker.
3. All connections are 'plug-in” type for easy removal of the radio.
4. Front fire internal speaker allows convenient in-dash mounting using
the optional bracket.
CHOOSING A LOCATION
Some important factors to consider in selecting the location for your
LTD 950:
1. Select a location that is free from spray and splash.
2. Keep the battery leads as short as possible. Direct connection to the
battery is most desirable. If direct connection cannot be made with
the supplied power lead, any extension should be made with #10
AWG wire. Long extensions should use larger gauge wire.
3. Keep the antenna lead as short as possible. Long antenna leads can
cause substantial loss of performance for both receiving and transmit­
ting.
4. Locate your antenna as high as possible and clear from metal objects.
The reliable range of coverage is a direct function of antenna height.
5. Select a location that does not allow the radio to be subjected to direct
sunlight (including that coming through windows).
6. Select a location that allows free air flow around the heat sink on the
rear of the radio.
7. Select a location well away from the ship’s compass. Auxiliary
speakers also should be located away from the compass.
