GPS Antenna

Install the antenna unit referring to the antenna installation diagram at the back of
this manual. When choosing a mounting location for the antenna unit, keep in mind
the following points:

Select a location out of the radar beam. The radar beam will obstruct or prevent
reception of the GPS signal.

The location should be well away from a VHF/UHF antenna. A GPS receiver is
interfered by a harmonic wave of a VHF/UHF antenna.

There should be no interfering object within the line-of-sight to the satellites. An
object within line-of-sight to satellites, for example, a mast, may block reception
or prolong acquisition time.

Mount the antenna unit as high as possible to keep it free from interfering
objects and water spray. Freezing water can interrupt reception of the GPS
satellite signal.
