4. Installation of the GPS antenna

G
People with pacemakers should avoid physical contact with the magnetic antenna and should not carry the antenna
on their person, as this may affect the function of the pacemaker.
Keep the magnetic antenna away from data storage media (disks, credit cards, magnetic cards etc.) and electronic and
precision engineering equipment, as this may cause data to be deleted.
Do not use the antenna in areas at risk of explosion.
It is important to secure the antenna so that it cannot become detached in a collision or sudden brake manoeuvre.
Possible installation positions
• Outside the vehicle
a. Attach the antenna to a flat, pre-washed metal surface.
b. Then guide the antenna cable into the vehicle interior.
G
The maximum vehicle speed for the antenna if magnetically attached is 180 km/h. The antenna must be removed or
specially secured at higher speeds.
The antenna is not suitable for car-wash facilities.
• Inside the vehicle
The antenna can only be installed on a non-metallised windscreen.
When selecting the installation position, ensure that the antenna has a clear view of all directions, and that it
is not covered by the windscreen wipers. Obstructions caused by the bonnet, window crossbeams and roof
should be avoided as far as possible.
