Installation in a Vehicle: Running the Antenna Cable
1. Turn the SP-R1 receiver power OFF and remove
it from the cradle; unplug the Car Power Adapter
from the cigarette lighter; unplug the antenna
from the cradle.
2. Route the cable from the antenna to the vehicle’s
interior by tucking it underneath the rubber molding
around rear window, as shown below.
3. Route the cable from the lowest point of the rear
window into the trunk. Take advantage of any
existing cable channels or wiring conduits.
• For SUVs, minivans & 5-door vehicles, bring the
cable into the vehicle under the rubber molding for
the tailgate, and continue under the interior trim.
4. From the trunk, route the cable around the
passenger compartment and to the back of the
cradle.
• Do not pull the wire across sharp edges that could
damage it.
• Keep the wire away from areas where it could
become tangled in driver’s and passenger’s feet.
5. Plug the antenna into the back of cradle where it
says “ANT”.
6. Plug the car power adapter into the cigarette lighter.
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU UNPLUG THE
CAR POWER ADAPTER AFTER THE VEHICLE’S
