At a minimum, the mounting surface should be 16-gauge (approximately 1/16-inch
thick) steel sheet metal. Mounting to plastic or other material with low tensile and
shear strength could lead to an unsafe and/or failed mounting condition, turning
the radio and its mounting bracket into a projectile during a high-shock incident
such as a motor vehicle accident. If the selected mounting surface does not meet
the minimum 16-gauge steel sheet metal requirement,
the surface should be
reinforced with a metal backing plate (not supplied) or it should be reinforced
using some other approved mounting method.
In addition to improving safety of the installation, firm mounting also prevents
unreasonable vibration
that could damage the radio, adversely affect transceiver
performance and/or cause its cable connections to loosen. An improperly mounted radio
may experience degradation in the quality of voice and data communications.
