Antenna Installation
The antenna must be installed horizontally/flat in the dash or on top of the dash. It must be
oriented as shown below. There is a label on the side of the antenna that indicates which side
of the antenna is the top. Install as high up in the dash as possible.
IMPORTANT
: Ensure that
•
No metal objects will be placed above the antenna.
•
Antenna must be oriented with the arrow facing up.
•
For installs on new truck types, test signal strengths and GPS prior to securing the
antenna and replacing dash panels.
For optimal system performance, the antenna may be placed on top of the vehicle’s dash and
as close to the windshield as possible. This will expose the antenna to possible tampering, so
customer approval must be obtained. There are many vehicles that mounting in the dash is
an acceptable practice. Use the GPS tab and following guidelines as a rule of thumb when
selecting an acceptable antenna location:
•
Precision: should be a value equal to 2 or less
•
Satellites: should show a value of 5 or more (
Note
: it is the first value shown
)
In dash
On top of dash with Customer
Approval only
