Installation
Installing the GPS aerial
CAUTION
• Do not cut the GPS aerial lead to shorten it or use an extension to make it
longer. Altering the aerial cable could result in a short circuit.
Installation notes
• When installing the GPS aerial inside the vehicle, be sure to use the metal sheet provid-
ed with your system. If this is not used, the reception sensitivity will be poor.
• Do not cut the accessory metal sheet. This would reduce the sensitivity of the GPS aeri-
al.
• Take care not to pull the aerial lead when removing the GPS aerial. The magnet attached
to the aerial is very powerful, and the lead may become detached.
• The GPS aerial is installed with a magnet. When installing the GPS aerial, be careful
not to scratch the vehicle body.
• When installing the GPS aerial on the outside of the vehicle, always put it in the vehicle
when going through an automatic vehicle wash. If it is left on the outside it may be
knocked off and scratch the vehicle body.
• Do not paint the GPS aerial, as this may affect its performance.

• The aerial should be installed on a
level surface where radio waves will
be blocked as little as possible. Radio
waves cannot be received by the aerial
if reception from the satellite is
blocked.
Installation on the vehicle roof or boot
lid is recommended to enable best
reception.
