The U-cradle can bemounted using the self-drilling screws and washers provided in theinstallation kit, or nuts and bolts (not included).Caution Although an industrial-strength recloseable fastening sys-tem can be used to support the installation, for safety reasons Tait doesnot recommend this as a mounting option.Notice When mounting the radio on a surface, check whether themounting screws will screw into material providing sufficient strength.Reinforce the mounting surface, if required.1. If the U-cradle is being mounted over a curved surface, bend the tabsat the bottom of the U-cradle slightly to match the surface shape.2.
