♦Installing the GPS antenna

Notes on installation

･ The wires should be bound together with tape or a similar securing method (example: wire ties) so that they do not interfere with driving. If they become

wound or entangled around parts such as the steering wheel, shifting lever, or brake pedal, accidents may result.

･ Do not install the GPS antenna where it will obstruct the driver's vision or where it will be an obstacle while driving, otherwise traffic accidents may result.

Tip

･ If the vehicle glass is a special type of glass such as heat-reflective glass or bullet-proof glass, be sure to install the GPS antenna outside the vehicle. If

the GPS antenna is installed inside the vehicle, the reception sensitivity will severely drop and will affect the accuracy of the position measurement.

･ If installing the GPS antenna inside the vehicle, be sure it is mounted on the ground plate.

･ If installing the GPS antenna inside the vehicle, the location and the slope of the vehicle's windshield will determine the accuracy of the GPS antenna to

receive the GPS signal. If the GPS antenna location inside the vehicle is hindering the accuracy of the GPS antenna, then you may want to install the

antenna outside the vehicle.

･ The materials used in front and rear vehicle windows can cause GPS reception sensitivity to drop significantly. If this happens, install the GPS antenna

outside the vehicle.

･ If the attachment surface is a non-plastic surface such as genuine leather, wood panel, or cloth, attaching the antenna may damage the surface finish.

Do not attach the ground plate to such surfaces.

･ Wipe the installation surface thoroughly so that it is clear of any dirt, moisture, or grease before installing the antenna.

･ Do not apply any coatings to the GPS antenna, otherwise it may cause a drop in the reception sensitivity of the antenna.

･ Route the GPS antenna wire as far away as possible from TV and radio antennas, and wires, otherwise it may cause interference with video and audio

signals.

･ Do not install the antenna in places (such as front pillars and roof panel) that are shielded from the sky.

･ The main GPS antenna unit should be installed in a level position where the signals will be as unobstructed as much as possible, such as on the

vehicle's roof. Satellite signals cannot be received if the antenna is obscured or obstructed.

･ If installing the GPS antenna unit outside the vehicle, remove the antenna unit if leaving the vehicle unattended for long periods in order to prevent theft

or malicious damage to the antenna.

･ Hold the GPS antenna unit when removing the antenna. Do not pull on the GPS wire, otherwise it may become damaged and result in problems with

correct operation.

･ If installing the GPS antenna outside the vehicle, remove the GPS antenna unit when washing the vehicle. (If you wash the vehicle with the antenna unit

still attached, avoid spraying the wire section directly with water so that no water gets inside the vehicle.)

･ The magnet that is attached to the GPS antenna unit is extremely strong. Be sure to note the following when installing the antenna.

･ Do not put the antenna down onto the ground or onto dirty or dusty surfaces. If iron filings become attached to the magnet, they may cause damage

to the vehicle's body.

･ Keep the antenna away from watches and magnetic cards, otherwise they may be damaged and/or rendered unusable.

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 ground plate when installing the GPS antenna. If the ground plate is not used, the reception sensitivity will drop and will affect the

accuracy of the position measurement.

Install the ground plate to the dashboard.

Install the GPS antenna to the ground 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.

Secure the GPS antenna.

Route the GPS antenna wire along the crevice between the front windshield and the dashboard.

Tip

If the GPS antenna wire protrudes from the dashboard, wind tape around it so that it stays securely fixed in the crevice between the front windshield and

the dashboard.

Route the GPS antenna wire to the main unit's installation location.

♦Installing the microphone

Tip

･ Install the microphone and the microphone wire where they will not be obstacles while driving.

･ Do not install the microphone in places where it will prevent vehicle switches from being operated or cause any other obstruction while driving.

･ If installing the microphone and the microphone wire to a vehicle which is equipped with air bags, make absolutely sure to install them so that they will

not obstruct air bag operation.

Install the microphone to a place such as a sun visor.

Route the microphone cable to the installation position for the main unit while securing the cable with tape.

Lower the driver's side sun visor.
