The GPRS/UMTS antennas are equipped with a magnetic base and must be placed on top of the
cabin.

The antennas should be mounted in a clear, unobstructed area to ensure clear reception.
•
To avoid confusion, label the antenna cables inside the cabin with “Cellular” and “Diversity.” Label
the GPS patch antenna cable with “GPS” as shown in Figure 9 on page 13.
•
Mount a gray SMA grip on both antenna cable connections and mount a blue SMA grip on the GPS
patch antenna cable, as shown in Figure 9 on page 13.
