3.10.1
GPS antenna Installation (Included)
The GPS antenna needs to have an unimpeded view to the sky. The antenna positioning and orientation is critical to ensure effective operation.
Horizontally mounted on a metal plate is optimum.
3.10.2
Wi-Fi antenna (Depending on Model)
Before a magnetic mount antenna is fitted both the underside of the base and the selected body panel surface should always be cleaned so as
to avoid damage to the paint work.
(a) They must be directly placed on a flat area of steel
(b) They should not have any other material inserted between the magnetic base and vehicle body other than a protective pad or boot supplied
by the antenna base manufacturer. This is to avoid reduction in the magnetic retention strength and any effect on the coupling to the ground
plane.
3.10.3
3G antenna (Depending on Model)
On-glass antennas must be:
(a) securely fitted and fixed away from any metal which could deflect the signal
(b) located such that driver visibility is not impaired
(c) avoid heated screen elements
(d) mounted outside of the swept area of the windscreen
