3 Installation Mounting location Choose the mounting locations carefully before you drill or cut. For overall width and height requirements, refer to "Dimensional drawings" on page 73. Do not mount any part where it can be used as a hand hold, where it might be submerged, or where it will interfere with the operation, launching, or retrieving of the boat. The unit should be mounted so that the operator can easily use the controls and clearly see the screen. The unit has a high-contrast screen and is viewable in direct sunlight, but for best results install the unit out of direct sunlight. The chosen location should have minimal glare from windows or bright objects. The mounting location may affect the internal GPS receiver. Test the unit in its intended location to ensure satisfactory reception. An external GPS source can be added to overcome poor reception areas. Check that it is possible to route cables to the intended mounting location. Leave sufficient clearance to connect all relevant cables. Before cutting a hole in a panel, make sure that there are no hidden electrical wires or other parts behind the panel. Ensure that any holes cut are in a safe position and will not weaken the boat's structure. If in doubt, consult a qualified boat builder, or marine electronics installer. Ú Note: Where flush mounted, the enclosure should be dry and well ventilated. In small enclosures, it may be required to fit forced cooling. 16 Installation | HDS Carbon Installation Manual
