Option Cable Kit - Option Pmcd7Z - Ericsson MDX SERIES Installation Manual

A permanent mount type of antenna should be located in the center of the roof
or center of rear deck. Glass mounted antennas should be kept as high as possible
in the top center of the rear window. Some states have laws restricting vision
obstructing items from the windows. Be familiar with local laws before installing
glass mount antennas.
Try to route the cable away from locations where it will be exposed to heat,
sharp edges or mechanical damage, and where it will be out of the way of the driver,
passengers or vehicles mechanics. Wherever possible, existing holes in the trunk
wall, and the channels above or beneath doors and window columns should be
utilized.
Avoid routing the antenna cable near any electronic modules or along side any
vehicle wiring.
Connect the antenna cable to the TNC connector on the radio being careful not
to twist the cable.
