 The ant

maintains a corrosion-free appearance through long service life, can be mounted on vehicles
with single- or double-wall construction. A ball type swivel mount adapts the antenna for

mounting in a convenient location on the vehicle.
The same ball swivel mount can also be used to mount the TAA-1000 antenna, which consists of
one 96" (244 cm) stainless steel antenna rod. A special adapter is used to attach the TAA-1000

to the ball swivel mount.

Mounting Considerations

To achieve maximum operating range, the antenna should be mounted as high on the vehicle

body as possible without striking overhead obstructions in the normal service area of the
vehicle.
Select a mounting location on a flat portion of the vehicle body, compatible with the maximum

allowable high voltage lead-in cable length. If room is available, a desirable location is the flat
area between the rear window and the trunk lid.

GENERAL SAFETY

INFORMATION

The United Slates Department of Labor, through the provisions of the Occupational Safety and Health Act

of 1970 (OSHA), has established an electromagnetic safety standard which applies to the use of mobile
radios. Proper installation and use of this antenna with MICOM radios will result in exposure below the
