GPS Antenna
The GPS Antenna supplied with the VBOX II is a 5v active antenna. For the best possible signal
quality, it is important to maintain a clean connection between the antenna and the VBOX. Before
fixing the antenna to the VBOX, ensure that there are no dust particles in either connector.
Replacement antennas are available by contacting your VBOX distributor.
The antenna is a magnetic mounting type for quick and simple mounting to the vehicle roof. For
optimum GPS signal reception, make sure that the antenna is fitted to the highest point of the vehicle
away from any obstructions that may block satellite reception. The GPS antenna works best with a
metal ground plane underneath (eg. Vehicle roof).
Please also note that when using any GPS equipment, a clear sky view is important. Objects in the
surrounding area such and tall buildings or trees can block the GPS signal causing a reduction or loss
in the number of satellites being tracked.
