Standard Antenna
For best performance, the top of the antenna should face the sky through the area of least signal blockage.
• If the installation is not required to be covert, an ideal location is underneath the front windshield glass. For covert installations,
an ideal location is under the dashboard, as close to the front windshield as possible.
• In a car, the antenna can be mounted under the rear window or in a trunk, under the rear deck, as close to the rear window
as possible.
Antenna Installation Notes
• Signals will penetrate upholstery, carpet, plastic dashboards, etc., but not metal panels or brackets.
• Signals will penetrate window glass but not metallic tinted windows or painted edges of windows.
• Radio antenna or defrost wires embedded in glass may degrade signals.
