• 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.
• 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.

(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.

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.
Make sure the surface is free of
moisture, dust, grime, oil, etc.,
before affixing the metal sheet.
