MOUNTING THE GPS ANTENNA
The next step is the GPS antenna installation. The end of the antenna is magnetic
so that you can place it outside the vehicle, its cable is made of a torn proof
material so that it does not break even if it is closed between the door and body of
the vehicle. The antenna can be placed on the dashboard or on the back of the
vehicle, but Geosat 2C will work better if it is put outside, on the bonnet or on the
roof. After fastening the antenna take its cable inside the vehicle passing it through
the passenger door, and put it in the glove box, where you will leave the hank; pull
out the part of the cable you need to connect it to Geosat 2C by its end pin.
The higher is the GPS antenna, the better it will receive the signal.
WARNING!!!
DO NOT COVER THE ANTENNA WITH SHIELDING MATERIALS (METALS,
ETC.).
DO NOT PUT THE ANTENNA IN THE BOOT NOR IN THE GLOVE BOX.
THERE MUST NOT BE ANYTHING BETWEEN THE ANTENNA AND THE SKY.
IF YOU PUT IT INSIDE MAKE SURE THAT THE GLASSES OF YOUR
VEHICLE ARE NOT SHIELDED, IF THEY ARE, PUT IT IN THE UNSHIELD
AREA OR OUTSIDE.
