2. Secure the GPS Module in place using the provided cable ties, velcro tape,
or double-sided tape.
Installing the GPS Antenna
1. Mount the GPS antenna on top of the dashboard, on the roof of the

• Locate the antenna so that it has a clear view of the sky. Any metal
obstructions may interfere with satellite reception.

CB antenna. Close proximity to a transmitting antenna may degrade
or disrupt GPS reception.

mounting.
• To use the magnetic mount you must remove the aluminum base
plate to expose the antenna’s neodymium magnets.
3. Route the antenna cable to the GPS Module.
