Antenna

The GPS antenna supplied with the PerformanceBox Sport is a 3.5V active antenna. For the best possible signal quality,
it is important to maintain a clean connection between the antenna and the PerformanceBox Sport. Before fixing the
antenna to the PerformanceBox Sport, ensure that there are no dust particles in either connector. Replacement
antennae are available by contacting your distributor.

The antenna is a magnetic mounting type for quick and simple mounting to the vehicle roof. For optimum GPS signal
reception, make sure that the antenna is fitted to the highest point of the vehicle away from any obstructions that may
block satellite reception. The GPS antenna works best with a metal ground plane underneath (a metallic vehicle roof is
perfect for this).

Please also note that when using any GPS equipment, a clear sky view is important. Objects in the surrounding area
such as tall buildings or trees can block the GPS signal causing a reduction in the number of satellites being tracked, or
