ideal antenna placement on a vehicle is the center of the cab roof, assuming there is a clear view of the
sky.
• Position the antenna as high as possible.

Magnetic Mount
The magnetic mount can be screwed into the bottom of the receiver and mounts to metal surfaces. A
metal disc and foam adhesive are included with each magnetic mount. Use the foam adhesive to bond
the metal disc to the desired mounting location if there are no metal surfaces.
To mount the receiver using the magnetic mount:
1. Clean and dry the surface where you will attach the metal disc.
2. Remove the backing from one side of the foam adhesive and press the adhesive onto the mounting
surface.
3. Remove the backing from the other side of the foam adhesive and press the metal disc onto the
mounting surface, applying firm pressure to ensure good adhesion.
4. Place the magnetic mount on top of the metal disc.
Surface Mount
You can surface mount the receiver with four machine screws (no. 8-32) - not included.
To surface mount the receiver:
1. Determine the desired location for the receiver.
2. Photocopy the bottom of the receiver for use as a template to plan the mounting hole locations. Use
the outer four holes per your installation.
If using a photocopy make sure it is scaled one-to-one with the mounting holes on the bottom of the
receiver.
CAUTION
Improperly installed cables near machinery may cause injury or death.
