GPS Antenna Mounting
To satisfy the FCC's Enhanced 911 (E-911) Phase II mandate, a GPS antenna with a mounting
bracket and suction cups is supplied with this unit. The GPS antenna uses satellite technology during
emergency calls to automatically report your location to a 911 dispatcher within 50-100 meters in
most cases. For this feature to function, you must properly mount the GPS antenna on a window as
described below in addition to the standard antenna used for cellular system operation.
1.
Mount the bracket on a window with good line of sight (no obstructions to the sky) using the
suction cups. A small amount of water or petroleum jelly applied to the window surface of the
suction cups will improve their long-term adhesion to the window

2.
Place the antenna on the topside center of the bracket. The bracket is tilted to aim the
antenna out the window and toward the sky.
3.
Connect the antenna to the GPS Connector on the side panel of the SX5T

Note:
Installation of the GPS antenna is not required for normal operation of the SX5T.
Since E-911 service may not be available in all areas, 911 or other emergency calls may not
automatically provide a location.
You must be prepared to provide an address during any
emergency calls.
