OUNTING

THE

GTM 11

After you have connected and tested the GTM 11, you can mount it using

the hook-and-loop fastener or the permanent adhesive. For best signal

reception, mount the GTM 11 on the A-pillar, which is the area between the

windscreen and the door. If possible, mount the GTM 11 so you can see the

LED.

To mount the GTM 11 with the permanent adhesive:

NOTE: When mounted, the adhesive is extremely difficult

to remove. Be absolutely certain you want to mount it before

affixing the GTM 11 to your vehicle.

1. Clean and dry a section of the A-pillar or other suitable mounting

surface.

2. Remove the backing from the adhesive. Firmly press the adhesive

on the back of the GTM 11.

Attach the adhesive here.

3. Position so the antenna is pointing up.
4. Remove the backing from the adhesive.
5. Firmly press the GTM 11 to the mounting surface.
