Car Power Adapter
The GIK can alternatively be powered using the Car Power
Adapter (CPA) (
CV90-C6032-1 ).
■ Connect the CPA cable to the 4-pin connector on the back of the
unit.
■ Plug the CPA into the vehicle’s car power port.
Caution
Refer to vehicle’s user manual regarding car power port
operation. Some car power ports provide continuous
power regardless of vehicle ignition state. This may
require the user to remove the CPA from car power port
to avoid vehicle battery drain when vehicle is off. When
using the CPA, the stereo mute function is not available.
Exterior antenna
The exterior antenna permits communication with the satellite
when the phone is installed in the GIK.
Antenna cables
The antenna cable consists of a pair of paired coaxial cables
(
45-C6162-1 ) that connect the exterior antenna to the GIK. Use only
the antenna cables that come with your kit when connecting the
exterior antenna. Do not cut or modify the antenna cables.
