Turn the an tenna upside-down and extend the cable.
1.
Connect the cover/tail to the antenna cable, making sure that the str ain-relief on the
2.
antenna sea ts into the cover/tail groove.
Route the c able through the wire channel in the cover/tail. (Figure 6 )
3.
Once you ha ve determined the proper mounting location (see next secti on), clean the
4.
area with t he supplied alcohol pad.

Optimum Antenna Mounting Locations
The optimum location to mount the included antenna is on the roof of the vehicle. It i s important to avo id any obstruction that will block satellite signal – like a roof rack. For convertible
vehicles, i nstall the antenna on the trunk lid.
Place the a ntenna on a metal surface of your vehicle at least 2-
•
3/4” from a window or another edge. (Use the antenna cover/tail
as a guide for the proper distance).
The antenna ’s magnet will secure it to the metal surface. The
•
adhesive th at is attached to the antenna cover/tail will secure the
cable to th e vehicle. Before routing the antenna cable, confirm
that the an tenna is mounted in a good location.
Route the c able from the antenna to the vehicle’s interior by
•
tucking it underneath the rubber molding around the rear window
(if possibl e). Avoid sharp edges or tight areas that may pinch the
cable.
For SUVs, m inivans and five-door vehicles, bring the cable into
•
the vehicle under the rubber molding for the tailgate, and continue under the interior trim.
For convert ibles mount the antenna to the rear deck
•
and route t he cable into the interior from within the
trunk.
Caut ion:
Avoi d sharp edges, mo ving pa rts and areas of
•
extr eme hea t.
