2.1
Choosing the Best Location
A note has been added to caution against mounting the antenna on a
curved surface.
•
Be sure to mount the antenna on a horizontal
surface. When placed flat on the mounting surface,
the mounting plates should be less than
7
⁄
16
" above
the mounting surface (see Figure 2-2). Any larger
gap will warp the baseplate and seriously damage
the antenna.
2.2
Mounting the Antenna Unit
The antenna unit mounting procedure has been changed to reflect the
different mounting plates.
1. Make sure that you have chosen a suitable
mounting location based upon the guidelines in
Section 2.1, “Choosing the Best Location.”
2. Remove the antenna unit from its shipping carton.
3. Position the antenna unit in the desired location
on the centerline of the vehicle with the antenna’s
mounting plate arrows facing the front or rear of
the vehicle. The proper orientation is illustrated in
Figure 2-3 on the following page.
2
Always lift the antenna unit by the
gray baseplate, never by the
radome or any portion of the
antenna assembly!
