Eclipse AVN8826 Installation Manual page 10

- Installation inside the vehicle (example) -
1
Choose an installation location on the dashboard which
is flat and has a clear view of the sky.
Tip
• • Select a location that is at least 20 in. away from the
main unit. If this is not done, the GPS measurement
precision will drop.
• • Be sure to use the earth plate when installing the GPS
antenna. If the earth plate is not used, the reception
sensitivity will drop and will affect the accuracy of the
position measurement.
2 Install the earth plate to the dashboard.
3
Install the GPS antenna to the earth plate.
Tip
If installing the GPS antenna inside the vehicle, the installation location and the shape of the vehicle's body will
determine GPS accuracy. Accuracy is usually lower when the GPS antenna is installed inside the vehicle.
4 Route the GPS antenna cable to the main unit's
installation location.
Tip
Cut the harness affixing tape into usable lengths with scissors. Do the same for the rest of the installation.
- Installation outside the vehicle (example) -
1
Choose an installation location where the GPS antenna
can be attached securely.
2 Remove the backing paper from the body protective
sheet and attach the sheet to the vehicle.
3 Install the GPS antenna on top of the body protective
sheet.
4
Route the GPS antenna cable inside the vehicle's boot
and secure it with clamps.
5
Attach the waterproof cushion so that the GPS antenna
cable is flat against the weatherstrip when the boot lid
is closed.
Tip
To aid in sliding the waterproof cushion in finding the
desired mounting location, apply plain or soapy water
to the waterproof cushion.
6
Route the GPS antenna cable to the main unit while
securing it with harness affixing tape.
Tip
Cut the harness affixing tape into usable lengths with scissors. Do the same for the rest of the installation.
