installation notes
•
• The antenna should be installed on a
level surface where radio waves will
be blocked as little as possible. Radio
waves cannot be received by the anten
na if reception from the satellite is
blocked.
Installation on the vehicle roof or boot
lid is recommended to enable best
reception.
When installing the GPS antenna inside the vehicle, be sure to use the metal sheet pro
vided with your system. If this is not used, the reception sensitivity will be poor.
Do not cut the accessory metal sheet. This would reduce the sensitivity of the GPS
antenna.
Take care not to pull the antenna lead when removing the GPS antenna. The magnet
attached to the antenna is very powerful, and the lead may become detached.
The GPS antenna is installed with a magnet. When installing the GPS antenna, be care
ful not to scratch the vehicle body.
When installing the GPS antenna on the outside of the vehicle, always put it in the vehi
cle when going through an automatic vehicle wash. If it is left on the outside it may be
knocked off and scratch the vehicle body.
Do not paint the GPS antenna, as this may affect its performance.
