8.3. Mounting Surface
Mount onto an interior flat surface that is large enough to accommodate the footprint.
Suggested mounting areas include the following:
Horizontal mount on dashboard under an angled windshield free of metallic obstructions
Overhead compartment mount with a clear non-metallic view of the sky (for example, under a
fiberglass roof or fairing).
Note: Verify placement acceptability with state DOT/law enforcement prior to installation.
Enclosed areas require an external GPS.
8.4. Mounting Considerations
Avoid mount areas with difficult access or areas that do not allow for direct diagnostic LED
viewing.
Do not mount near other radio equipment such as two-way radios, PA equipment and high energy
electrical sources (e.g., cables, relays, amplifiers, etc.).
Avoid dirty, dusty, or damp mount areas (for example, near floors and entry ways).
To prevent water damage, do not install below windows or doors that open to the vehicles
exterior.
Note: If enclosing in a radio-shielded area (for example, metallic enclosure) an external GPS
antenna may be necessary for proper operation and performance.
