Installation/User Guide 12
Mounting Areas
Mount onto an interior flat surface that is large enough to accommodate the footprint.
Suggested mounting areas include the following:
•
Horizontal mount on dashboard under an angled windshield free of metallic
obstructions
• Overhead compartment mount with a clear non-metallic view of the sky (for example,
under a fiberglass roof or fairing).
Note
: Verify placement acceptability with state DOT/law enforcement prior to installation.
Enclosed areas require an external GPS.
Mounting Considerations
•
Avoid mount areas with difficult access or areas that do not allow for direct diagnostic
LED viewing.
• Do not mount near other radio equipment such as two-way radios, PA equipment and
high energy electrical sources (e.g., cables, relays, amplifiers, etc.).
•
Avoid dirty, dusty, or damp mount areas (for example, near floors and entry ways).
•
To prevent water damage, do not install below windows or doors that open to the
vehicle’s exterior.
Note
: If enclosing in a radio-shielded area (for example, metallic enclosure) an external GPS
antenna may be necessary for proper operation and performance.
