10. The GPS antenna is pre-wired and has a 1 meter
cable running through one of the connectors.
Determine location for GPS antenna. It is recom-
mended you place the GPS antenna 3 feet from
dome and away from any other obstruction.
The recommended location for the GPS antenna is
based on having a level location and a clear view of
the sky for the best satellite signal acquisition. Do not
secure GPS antenna to roof at this time.
IMPORTANT! The GPS must be located minimum of
3 feet away from obstructions on roof of vehicle. An-
tenna must have a clear view of the sky for proper
operation.
