If your boat has a different Simrad VHF model, confirm the radio model on the front panel or label before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose the microphone connection point based on how your RS40 is mounted. A front connection is convenient when the radio is at the helm, while a rear connection can keep wiring hidden when the RS40 is mounted inside a console or electronics cabinet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you add an extension cable, route it like any other helm wiring run: support it along the way, avoid sharp bends and pinch points, and leave enough service loop so the mic can be unplugged without straining the connector.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a good match for boats where the RS40 needs to live out of the weather but the mic needs to be at the helm, in a pilothouse, or at a nav station. It also makes sense to keep aboard as a spare handset for boats that see heavy VHF use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eMaintenance and care\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep the connector clean and dry, and rinse salt spray off the handset with fresh water when needed. Avoid harsh solvents that can soften plastics, and check the cable and strain relief periodically if the mic is used in a high-traffic cockpit or helm area.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Simrad","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52269460160693,"sku":"QBP530191","price":78.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1300100_qbp530191.jpg?v=1771544067","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp530191","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
