6. Check the antenna location for any electrical interference.
7. Make sure the mobile radio antenna is installed at least 30 centimeters (1 foot) away from any
other antenna on the vehicle.
8. For XPR Series Mobile Radio models with GPS using a GPS only or a combined RF/GPS
antenna, ensure that the antenna has a clear view of the sky and that the antenna base with
the GPS receiver is not covered by any metallic or radio frequency absorbing material. Any
non-glass-mount GPS antenna should be positioned next to the RF antenna. Any other
mobile radio antenna should be at least 30 centimeters (1 foot) away from the RF antenna.
NOTE: Any two metal pieces rubbing against each other (such as seat springs, shift levers, trunk and
hood lids, exhaust pipes, etc.) in close proximity to the antenna can cause severe receiver
interference.
