UPPLIES
Although not necessary, the following tools and supplies may aid in installation:
• Any tool to help cable routing (e.g., flat dental pick, screwdriver, etc.)
• Lubricant (e.g., light machine oil to aid cable routing through old molding)
• Cable tie wraps and adhesive mounting bases (to manage cable routing)
• Tape measure and level (for positioning the antenna)

• When selecting an antenna location for the TRK-SR2, make sure the
proposed site meets the following conditions:
a. The selected site must have a conductive surface area (e.g., metal or
aluminum roof) of at least 2-1⁄4 square feet and be 6 inches from
rear window molding.
b. Line of sight to satellites must not blocked by any metal obstructions
(e.g., crossbars from a roof rack).
c. Choose the highest possible location on the vehicle’s roof that satisfies
the above conditions and is as flat as possible.
• Although a center position on a roof is the most aesthetically pleasing, if
there is an obstruction (e.g., skid ribs, protruding brake light on roof line,
etc.) consider offsetting the TRK-SR2 from the center. If this doesn’t work,
use the Terk TRK-SR1 Glass-Mount Satellite Radio Antenna instead.
