Antenna Installation Instructions

IMPORTANT

To assure optimum performance and compliance with RF Energy Safety standards, these

antenna installation guidelines and instructions are limited to metal-body vehicles with

appropriate ground planes and take into account the potential exposure of back seat

passengers and bystanders outside the vehicle.

Selecting an Antenna Site/Location on a Metal Body Vehicle

External installation

Check the requirements of the antenna supplier and install the vehicle antenna external to a metal

body vehicle in accordance with those requirements.

Roof top

XTL mobile: For optimum performance and compliance with RF Energy Safety standards, mount

the mobile radi

APX mobile: For optimum performance and compliance with RF Energy Safety standards, mount

at 45cm (18 inches) from the center as shown in the figure below.

Trunk lid

For optimum performance and compliance with RF Energy Safety standards, mount the DVRS

antenna in the center area of the trunk.

Before installing an antenna on the trunk lid:

 Ensure that the distance from the antenna location on the trunk lid will be at least 85 cm (33

inches) from the front surface of the rear seat-back to assure compliance with RF Energy

Safety standards.

 Ensure that the trunk lid is grounded by connecting grounding straps between the trunk lid and

the vehicle chassis.

 Ensure that the antenna cable can be easily routed to the radio. Route the antenna cable as

far away as possible from any vehicle electronic control units and associated wiring.

 Check the antenna location for any electrical interference.

 Ensure that any other mobile radio antenna on this vehicle is at least 1ft (30.48cm) away from

the DVR and its associated mobile radio antennas.
