1.5 GPS Antenna-Receiver Connection-Installation
Mount the GPS antenna on the vehicle’s dash, applying the small suction cup to the
windshield to facilitate routing the GPS cable under the dash area. The GPS antenna-
receiver must have a clear view of the sky in order to capture and process the GPS satellite
signals. Ensure that the GPS antenna location is within 1.5 m of the OttoView-CD device
location.

Once the cable is connected, the operation of the GPS receiver interface and functionality
can be validated as follows:
•
Wait for 1 minute or until the GPS “Blue” LED light comes on and remains solidly lit.
•
If the LED remains lit, the GPS receiver is locked.
•
If the LED remains flashing, the GPS receiver is not locked. Check to see if the vehicle
has passivated glass or re-position the GPS antenna to another location on the dash.
•
If the LED continues to flash, contact PERSENTECH by email at:
for customer support.
WARNING: Do not mount the GPS antenna-receiver in a location that will interfere with the
vehicle’s operating controls or cause damage or personal injury in case of an accident. Also,
do not mount the GPS antenna-receiver over air bag panels or in the field of air bag
deployment. Air bags expand with a rapid force that can propel objects in their path toward
the driver or passenger.
