2.2 Mounting the Antenna Unit
1. Make sure that you have chosen a suitable
mounting location based upon the guidelines in
Section 2.1, “Choosing the Best Location.”
2. Remove the antenna unit from its shipping carton.
3. Position the antenna unit in the desired location
on the centerline of the vehicle with the antenna’s
mounting plate arrows facing the front or rear of
the vehicle. The proper orientation is illustrated in
Figure 2-3.
4. While the antenna is in place, mark a location on
the roof for the
3
⁄4" (19 mm) cable access hole to
permit convenient cable access to the antenna’s
baseplate connectors.
5. Using the 4 mounting plates and each set of 5
holes as templates, drill 20
3
⁄16" (5 mm) holes
through the roof of the vehicle.
6. Set aside the antenna unit and clean the roof’s
surface to remove any debris.
Always lift the antenna unit by the
gray baseplate, never by the
radome or any portion of the
antenna assembly!
The mounting plate arrows may
f
ace either forward or backward
along the center
line of the v
ehicle
for more convenient installation.
