Separation = 36 in. or greater for optimum performance
A minimum separation of 24 in. is required for the diversity system to be effective.
Note: The SCV1 uses a special diversity antenna system that requires the use of
two antennas mounted at opposite ends of the vehicle to maximize video signal
reception when driving in areas with heavy foliage or lots of buildings.
Figure 8 shows several alternate mounting locations for the antennas. These can be
used if it is not possible to install the antennas as shown in Figure 7 on your vehicle, or
to achieve a minimum separation of at least 24 inches between the antennas.

Figure 9 shows several antenna mounting configurations which will compromise the
performance of the SCV1. Avoid mounting the antennas in any of these configurations:
• Don't mount the antennas closer than 24 inches to each other
• Don't mount one or both of the antennas inside the vehicle on the dashboard
• Don't mount one or both of the antennas on the trunk lid of a sedan
