BEFORE INSTALLING AN ANTENNA ON THE TRUNK LID,
-
Be sure that the distance from the antenna location on the trunk
lid will be at least 85 cm (33 inches) from the front surface of the
rear seat-back to assure compliance with RF Energy Safety
standards.
-
Ensure that the trunk lid is grounded by connecting grounding
straps between the trunk lid and the vehicle chassis.
NOTE:
If these conditions cannot be satisfied, then mount the
antenna on the roof top.
4. Ensure the antenna cable can be easily routed to the radio. Route the
antenna cable as far away as possible from the vehicle electronic
control units and associated wiring.
5. Check the antenna location for any electrical interference.
6. Make sure the mobile radio antenna is installed at least 30 centimeters
(1 foot) away from any other antenna on the vehicle.
7. For XPR Series Mobile Radio models with GPS using a GPS only or a
combined RF/GPS antenna, ensure that the antenna has a clear view
of the sky and that the antenna base with the GPS receiver is not
covered by any metallic or radio frequency absorbing material. Any
non-glass-mount GPS antenna should be positioned next to the RF
antenna. Any other mobile radio antenna should be at least 30
centimeters (1 foot) away from the RF antenna.
NOTE:
Any two metal pieces rubbing against each other (such
as seat springs, shift levers, trunk and hood lids, exhaust
pipes, etc.) in close proximity to the antenna can cause
severe receiver interference.
Antenna Installation
Procedure
1. Mount the antenna according to the instructions provided with the
antenna kit. Run the coaxial cable to the radio mounting location. If
necessary, cut off the excess cable and install the cable connector.
2. Connect the antenna cable connector to the radio antenna connector
on the rear of the radio.
3. In case of a GPS model, connect the GPS antenna to the GPS
antenna connector on the rear of the radio.
