The SA200 should be mounted horizontally onto a metal surface measuring at least 18" x 18",
preferably at the highest point of the vehicle. The roof is the ideal location, but a trunk lid is an
alternative location for convertibles and some sedans. If the antenna is mounted on the trunk lid,
make sure it is at least 6 inches away from the bottom of the rear window. It is important for the
satellite antenna to have an unobstructed view of the satellites and ground-based repeaters (i.e.
clear of roof racks, rear window, sunroofs, and other antennas).

Due to the complexity of vehicle electronics and assembly, it is essential to posses the necessary
skills and knowledge prior to attempting this installation. If you do not have the confidence to
attempt this installation, contact a local installation facility in your area.
