The antenna installation supports three different installation options:
Option 1
– Installation on the inside of a window
1. Remove the paper from one side of the double sided sticker and attach the sticker on the
front side of the antenna.
2. Thoroughly clean the area of the window where you intend to attach the GPS antenna.
3. Remove the paper from the other side of the sticker and fix the antenna on the window from
the inside. Verify there are no obstacles between the window and the outside (so the antenna
can access
“clear sky”).
Position the antenna either on a sealed (un-openable) window or close to the
hinge
side.
4. Connect the 10m RF cable to the antenna. Make sure to firmly tighten the SMA connector.
5. Route the cable to the base station and connect it to the GPS port on the base station. Make
sure to firmly tighten the SMA connector.
