Installation guidelines
• All antennas must be spaced at least 18 inches (45.7 cm)
apart. Plan the layout before drilling any holes.
• A magnetic- mount antenna may be mounted on any
suitable metallic surface, paying attention to the routing
of the cable. However, avoid areas of high vibration. Also
avoid mounting the antenna near a roof luggage rack. (The
rack could block the signal.)
• For permanent- mount antennas, choose a location with
access both above and below the antenna- mounting
surface; this is required for installing fasteners and for
routing the antenna cable.
• For permanent- mount antennas, use silicone sealant to
prevent water leakage between the antenna base and the
mounting surface.
• The GPS antenna must be located outside of the vehicle
with a clear view of the sky.
• Choose a horizontal mounting position for the GPS
antenna.
