•
Do
not
add extensions to the cables and do not shorten the cables.
•
The minimum cable bend radius is 6.4 mm (
0.25 ″)
.
•
Ensure cables are protected from repeated bending or impact (e.g., by a vehicle door) after installation.
•
Secure cables so they do not vibrate or move during vehicle operation.
•
Protect the cables from chafing or abrasion at points of contact with surfaces.
•
If a cable needs to be bent, avoid kinking it.
•
Ensure cables are tension- and strain-free from connection to connection and during vehicle operation.
•
Secure any excess cable length.
•
Ensure vehicle occupants can enter, exit, and be seated without disturbing the cables.
•
Ensure no objects can be placed on top of the cables.
Do not yet
connect the antenna cables to the TGX.
Power-cable routing and restraint
When working with the power cable, apply these guidelines.
•
Excess length may be trimmed from each wi

unterminated end.
•
Ensure the cable is protected from repeated bending or impact after installation.
•
Secure the cable so it does not vibrate or move during vehicle operation.
•
Protect the cable from chafing or abrasion at points of contact with surfaces.
•

At this point, no connections have been made
and all the following should have been completed:
□
TGX mounted
□
Antenna modules secured
□
Antenna cables routed and restrained
□
Power cable routed and restrained
Connections
IMPORTANT:
With the vehicle engine off,
complete connection tasks in this order:
1.
Power-cable wires to vehicle
2.
Antenna cables to TGX
3.
Power cable to TGX
In the sections that follow, each nonvehicle required task is described in detail; vehicle-related tasks are the
responsibility of the installer.
