Note: This device is not
intended for use within
close proximity of the
human body. Antenna
installation should provide
for at least a 20 CM
separation from the
operator.
Antennas selected should not exceed a maximum gain of 5 dBi under
standard installation configuration. In more complex installations
(such as those requiring long lengths of cable and/or multiple
connections), it’s imperative that the installer follow maximum dBi
gain guidelines in accordance with the radio communications
regulations of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC),
Industry Canada, or your country’s regulatory body (if used outside
the US).
Your PinPoint XT will work with most cellular antennas with a
connector. Connect the primary antenna or primary RF cable directly
to the antenna connector on the back of the PinPoint XT.
Tip: When using a cable to an antenna placed away from the modem,
minimize the length of your cable. All gain from a more advantageous
antenna placement can be lost with a long cable to the modem.
Your PinPoint XT will work with most standard active GPS antennas.
Connect the GPS antenna or cable directly to the threaded SMA
connector.
Mount the GPS Antenna in the vehicle. The less the cable is wrapped
and bound together, the better it will perform. Place it on the roof, or
on the dash, or rear panel where it has a good view of the sky
(greater than a 90 angle view of the sky).
There are three options for antenna mounts:
• Magnetic roof-mount
• Through glass-mount
• Permanent mount

Note: Your PinPoint XT does not have a second antenna for received
diversity. Received diversity is disabled by default.
