7 Slide the tool up onto the knurled collar of the plug.

8 Squeeze the two straight legs of the tool firmly together between your thumb and index finger

and turn clockwise (as shown) to tighten the collar. It should take 1/4 turn or less.

NOTICE: DO NOT use pliers or any other device to grip the tightening tool. It has been

designed to allow you to achieve the proper torque on the collar without overtightening.

Overtightening the collar can damage the connector and the radio.

When you feel the tool slipping on the collar, the connection has been properly tightened. The

tool can also be used to loosen a tight collar.

GPS Antenna Placement

Place the GPS antenna (excluding the Motorcycle GPS antenna) at least, 3 ft

(0.9 m) away from any transmitting antenna, and the antenna must have a clear, unobstructed view of

the sky for best performance. Consider the length of the cabling before the installation is started.

QMA Connection

The radio uses a quick disconnect connection called QMA. This does not require any tightening.

• Ensure there is sufficient slack in the antenna cable.

• Ensure that the collar of the antenna cable plug does not bind.

• Engage the QMA cable plug onto the jack, listening for a click to ensure proper engagement.

• Gently tug on the cable to ensure that it is engaged.

• To disengage, pull back on the cable plug collar and pull the cable straight off the jack.
