Installing the GPS antenna CAUTION Do not cut the GPS antenna lead to shorten it or use an extension to make it longer. Altering the antenna cable could result in a short circuit or malfunction and permanent damage to this product. Installation notes • The antenna should be installed on a level surface where radio waves will be blocked as little as possible. Radio waves cannot be received by the antenna if reception from the satellite is blocked. • Take care not to pull the antenna lead when removing the GPS antenna. The lead may become detached. • Do not paint the GPS antenna, as this may affect its performance. When installing the antenna inside the vehicle (on the dashboard or rear shelf) WARNING Do not install the GPS antenna over any sensors or vents on the dashboard of the vehicle, as doing so may interfere with the proper functioning of such sensors or vents and may compromise the ability of the metal sheet under the GPS antenna to properly and securely affix to the dashboard. Make sure the surface is free of moisture, dust, grime, oil, etc., before affixing the metal sheet. Dashboard Rear shelf • When installing the GPS antenna inside the vehicle, be sure to use the metal sheet provided with your system. If this is not used, the reception sensitivity will be poor. • Do not cut the accessory metal sheet. This would reduce the sensitivity of the GPS antenna.

NOTES • Affix the metal sheet on the surface as level as possible where the GPS antenna faces the window. • Affix the GPS antenna on the metal sheet using the double-sided tape. • The metal sheet contains a strong adhesive which may leave a mark on the surface if it is removed. • When attaching the metal sheet, do not cut it into small pieces. • Some models use window glass that does not allow signals from GPS satellites to pass through. On such models, install the GPS antenna on the outside of the vehicle. En 11
