mounting the receiver/antenna
N
NO
OTTEE:: Be sure not to bundle excess cable as this will reduce the range.
The receiver/antenna position should be discussed with the vehicle owner prior to
installation since the antenna may be visible to the vehicle’s operator.
The best position to locate the receiver/antenna is centered high on either the front or
rear windshield. For optimal range, the antenna should be mounted vertically. It can
be mounted horizontally in relation to the windshield or under the dashboard away
from metal, but range will be reduced. Metallic window tint can also affect range, so
this should be a consideration when determining the mounting location.
After determining the best mounting location, follow these steps:
1.
Clean the mounting area with a quality glass cleaner or alcohol to remove any
dirt or residue.
2.
Plug the receiver/antenna cable into the receiver/antenna.
3.
Mount the receiver/antenna with double-sided tape.
4.
Route the receiver/antenna cable down the window pillar to the control module
and plug the cable into the control module.
