3 Using a drill bit appropriate for the mounting surface, drill a hole inside the corner of the dashed line on the template to prepare the mounting surface for cutting. 2 Adhere the template to the mounting surface. 1 Trim the template and make sure it fits at the mounting location. Before you can mount the stereo in a new location on the mounting surface, you must select a location in accordance with the mounting considerations. There is only a small amount of clearance between the case and the mounting holes, and cutting the hole too large could compromise the stability of the stereo after it is mounted. Mounting the Stereo in a New Location NOTICE Be careful when cutting the hole to mount the stereo. To avoid interference with a magnetic compass, the stereo should be installed at least 15 cm (5.9 in.) away from a compass. If you need to mount the stereo outside a boat, it should be mounted in a location where it cannot be damaged by docks, pilings, or other pieces of equipment. If you need to mount the stereo outside a boat, it must be mounted in a location far above the waterline, where it is not submerged. If you are installing the stereo in a location that may be exposed to water, the cable should have a drip loop to allow water to drip down off the cable and avoid damage to the stereo. If you are installing the stereo in a location that may be exposed to water, it must be mounted within 45 degrees of the horizontal plane. The stereo must be mounted in a location that allows open airflow around the rear of the stereo for heat ventilation.
