The H/L key does not function on transmit inhibited and low power only channels. UP and DOWN Keys The UP and DOWN keys are used to select channels. r EXTERNAL SPEAKER JACK Connects an optional external speaker to the transceiver. Use a speaker with an impedance of 4 or 8 ohms, with an RCA phono plug. t ANTENNA JACK Connects an antenna to the transceiver. Use a marine VHF antenna with an impedance of 50 ohms. page 8 Owner's Manual GX1250SA y DC INPUT CABLE Connects the transceiver to a DC power supply of 13. 8V ± 20 %. u PTT (Push-To-Talk) SWITCH Keys the transmitter when the transceiver is in radio mode. If the transceiver is in the intercom operation mode, it activates the microphone for the intercom. i Submersible MIC This microphone's water-resistant is equivalent to JIS Class 7th. o UP and DOWN KEYS The UP and DOWN on the mic function the same as the The UP and DOWN keys on the front panel of the transceiver. !0 16/9 Key Pressing the 16/9 key Immediately recalls channel 16 from any location. At the rear of the transceiver, connect the antenna cable to the antenna jack. RG8 or RG213 coaxial cable must be used if the antenna is 25 feet or more from the transceiver. It is advisable to have a Certified Marine Technician check the power output and the standing wave ratio of the antenna after installation. 4. 3 INSTALLATION USING REGULAR MOUNTING BRACKET 1. Position the transceiver within the bracket arms, matching the transceiver notches to obtain the desired positioning. Secure the transceiver to the brackets with the mounting knobs (see Figure 4). Connect the antenna and power cables (and optional speaker) to the transceiver. Figure 4. Regular Mounting Bracket GX1250SA Owner's Manual page 13 4. 4 CMB16 FLUSH MOUNT INSTALLATION 1. Make a rectangular template for the flush mount measuring 2 inches (50 mm) H x 5 3/8" inches (135 mm) W. Use the template to mark the location where the rectangular hole is to be cut. Confirm the space behind the dash or panel is deep enough to accommodate the transceiver (at least 6 inches deep). There should be at least 1/2 inch between the transceiver's heatsink and any wiring, cables or structures. Fasten the brackets to the sides of the transceiver with the lock washer nut combination, so that the mounting screw base faces the mounting surface (see Figure 5). Turn the adjusting screw to adjust the tension so that the transceiver is tight against the mounting surface.
