Third, it is wise to place the system high enough so that people who walk around the system will 
not interfere with the signal. We recommend placing he case on top of a vehicle, or other high 
location. 
 
Remember,  use good judgment when choosing a set-up location. Choose  an area with no 
obstructions to the south  (if in the United States), and clear of  other sources of radio or radar 
interference.
