Installation

Caution: The OCEANUS will only operate with nominal 12 volt

negative ground battery systems.

It is important to carefully determine the most suitable location for your

OCEANUS on your vessel. Electrical, mechanical, and environmental

considerations must all be taken into account. You should select the

optimum relationship among these considerations.

Keep in mind the flexibility designed into the OCEANUS so that

you can most conveniently use your radio. Features which should be

considered are:

The universal mounting bracket may be installed on either the top

or bottom of a shelf, on a bulkhead, or for overhead mounting.

The REMOTE speaker jack can be used with an auxiliary

speaker.

All connections are “plug-in” type for easy removal of the radio.

Front fire internal speaker allows convenient in-dash mounting

using the optional bracket.

Choosing a Location

Some important factors to consider in selecting the location for your

OCEANUS:

Select a location that is free from spray and splash.

Keep the battery leads as short as possible. Direct connection to

the battery is most desirable. If direct connection cannot be made

with the supplied power lead, any extension should be made with

#10 AWG wire. Long extensions should use larger gauge wire.

Keep the antenna lead as short as possible. Long antenna leads

can cause substantial loss of performance for both receiving and

transmitting.

Locate your antenna as high as possible and clear from metal

objects. The reliable range of coverage is a direct function of the

antenna height.

Select a location that does not allow the radio to be subjected to

direct sunlight (including that coming through windows).

Select a location that allows free air flow around the heat sink on

the rear of the radio.

Select a location well away from the ship’s compass. Auxiliary

speakers also should be located away from the compass.

Engine Noise Suppression

Interference from the impulse noise generated by the electrical systems

of engines is sometimes a problem with radios. The OCEANUS has

been designed to be essentially impervious to ignition impulse noise and

alternator noise. However, in some installations it may be necessary to

take measures to further reduce the effect of noise interference. All DC

battery wires, antenna lead, and accessory cables should be routed

away from the engine and engine compartment, and from power cabling

carrying high currents.

In severe cases of impulse noise interference, it may be necessary to

install a noise suppression kit. Contact your Uniden Dealer for more

information.

Antenna Considerations

A variety of antennas are available from a number of quality suppliers. It

is recommended you draw upon the advice of your Uniden Dealer in

determining a suitable antenna for your vessel and range requirements.

In general, communication range is increased by using a high-gain

antenna placed as high as possible above the water line. Antennas

should be located away from metal objects. Antennas should not have

excessively long coaxial feed cables.

Installing the OCEANUS

After you have carefully considered the various factors affecting your

choice of location, position the radio (with the bracket, microphone,

power cord, antenna and any auxiliary cables installed) into the selected

location to assure there is no interference with the surrounding items.

Mark the location of the mounting bracket. Remove the bracket from the

radio and use it as a template to mark the holes to be drilled for the

mounting hardware. Drill the holes and mount the bracket with hardware

compatible with the material of the mounting surface.

Note:

This HEXAGON HEAD BOLT is

only for mounting the bracket

with hardware. Do not use it for

installing the radio in the

mounting bracket.

Connect the red wire of the supplied power cord to the positive (+)

battery supply. Connect the black wire of the power cord to ground. The

power cord is equipped with a fuse to protect the radio. Use only a Six

(6) Ampere fast blow fuse for replacement. Connect the power cord to

the keyed connector on the power “pigtail”.

Connect the antenna and all other auxiliary cables and accessories.

Install the radio in the mounting bracket and connect all cables and

accessories to the appropriate jacks and connectors.

Note:

Do not use any other mounting

knobs than the ones enclosed.

Do not insert the knobs without

attaching the bracket.

Operation

Turn the unit on by rotating the power/volume control clockwise.

Adjust the SQUELCH control counterclockwise until you hear

background noise, and then turn it clockwise just until the noise

disappears.

Care and Maintenance

Your OCEANUS is a precision piece of electronic equipment and you

should treat it accordingly. Due to the rugged design, very little

maintenance is required. However, a few precautions should be

observed:

• If your radio has been accidentally subjected to spray or splash,

you should immediately wipe it down with a soft cloth dampened

with fresh water.

• If the antenna has been damaged, you should not transmit

except in the case of an emergency. A defective antenna may

cause damage to your radio.

• You are responsible for the continued FCC technical compliance

of your radio.

• You are urged to arrange for periodic performance checks with

your Uniden Marine Dealer.
