Mounting The Receiver/Antenna - Clarion SR5000 Installation Manual

Mounting the Receiver/Antenna

Receiver/antenna position should be discussed with the vehicle owner prior to installation, since the
antenna may be visible to the vehicle's operator.
The best location for the receiver/antenna is centered high on either the front or rear windshield.
For optimal range, the antenna should be mounted vertically. It can be mounted horizontally in
relation to the windshield or under the dashboard away from metal, but range will be diminished.
After determining the best mounting location, follow these steps:
1. Clean the mounting area with a quality glass cleaner or alcohol to remove any dirt or residue.
2. Plug the receiver/antenna cable into the receiver/antenna.
3. Mount the receiver/antenna using the supplied double-sided tape.
4. Route the receiver/antenna cable to the control module and plug it into the four-pin antenna
connector.
IMPORTANT! To achieve the best possible range, DO NOT leave the antenna cable
bundled under the dash. Always extend the cable full length during installation,
regardless of the antenna mounting location. Metallic window tint can also affect
range, so this should be a consideration when determining mounting location.
