Installation Instructions

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.
NOTICE: Any two metal pieces rubbing against each other such as seat springs, shift levers,
trunk and hood lids, exhaust pipes, and others close to the antenna can cause severe receiver
interference.
2.4.2
Distance Between Antennas
The following figure indicates the separation distances required for the various antennas used with all
mobile radios. Each "cross-hair" symbol represents a possible location (LOC) of an antenna. The
recommendation is to locate them as close to the center of the roof and/or trunk as possible, without
interference with a lightbar.
NOTICE: Do not cut the antenna cable.
