Installing the Antenna

Install the antenna (not supplied) according to the installation instructions supplied with the unit.

Optimum Antenna Mounting Locations

The optimum location to mount the included antenna is on the roof of the vehicle. It is important
to avoid any obstruction that will block satellite signal – like a roof rack. For convertible vehicles,
install the antenna on the trunk lid.

Place the antenna on a metal surface of your vehicle at least 12" x 12", and at least 6" from
a window. (Use the antenna cover/tail as a guide for the proper distance).

The antenna’s powerful magnet will secure it to the metal surface. The adhesive that is
attached to the antenna cover/tail will secure the cable to the vehicle. Before routing the
antenna cable, confirm that the antenna is mounted in a good location.

Route the cable from the antenna to the vehicle’s interior by tucking it underneath the rub-
ber molding around the rear window (if possible).

Route the cable from the lowest point of the rear window into the trunk. Take advantage of
any existing cable channels or wiring conduits.

For SUVs, minivans and five-door vehicles, bring the cable into the vehicle under the rub-
ber molding for the tailgate, and continue under the interior trim.

From the trunk, carefully route the cable to the location of the DLP2500 and plug the SMB
connector onto the unit.

Caution:

Do not pull the wire across sharp edges that could damage it.

Keep the wire away from areas where it could become tangled in the driver’s and passen-
ger’s feet.

Keep the antenna wire away from extreme heat – like exhaust systems.

Avoid placing the cable near any moving parts
