INSTALLATION

1. Determine Antenna Location:

The antenna should

be mounted centered on the vehicle as high and as far
forward as possible.  This is usually along the front edge
of the vehicle cab.

NOTE:

Do not place the antenna within 2 feet of a trans-

mitting radio antenna, for example: 2-way or business
band radio.

2. Attach Antenna:

Clean and dry the surface where the

antenna mounting plate will be attached.  Remove the
paper backing from the adhesive strips on the back of the
mounting plate.  Position the mounting plate and press
down hard for good adhesion.  Place the magnetic mount-
ed antenna on the plate and be sure it is on the exact cen-
terline of the vehicle.
