Flarm Update Procedure; Uploading Obstacles - LXNAV LX90 Series Manual

Rev #1
The antenna position must be mounted as vertical as possible. Use only the
original antenna which is always delivered with the unit. Use the original cable to
connect the main display unit to the antenna. Never use an antenna without the
original aluminium ground plane. If there is no space to install the metal
ground plane a dipole variant of the antenna is available. The picture above
shows the connected GROUND PLANE antenna. With the LX system a DIPOLE
antenna is included which has an even better performance than a ground plane
antenna.
The FLARM external display is a small unit and can be placed anywhere on the instrument
panel. To fix the device, use self-adhesive tape on the back of the device. For installation
on the top of the instrument panel a suitable box is available.
