4 AMG1000BHx HD Truck Kit Installation Guide
Figure 4: Optimal Unit Orientation (antenna separated from base)
A good install location will be one that:
• Is not visible to the driver
• Has clear line of sight to the sky for the backpack antenna, ideally as close to the
front of the cab as possible.
• Allows the backpack antenna to mount parallel to the ground – the ideal placement
is horizontal without any metal objects between it and the sky. Unscrew the antenna
if needed to place the antenna in an ideal place.
• Will allow the technician to be able to see all four LEDs on the unit.
• Allows easy access to the GPS, CDMA, and GSM connections on the unit
• Enables the AMG base unit to be secured via screws, such that the screws are not
visible to the driver.
PROCEED WITH INSTALLATION ONLY AFTER
THE ABOVE TASKS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED
Note: Placement behind the dashboard has been most successful in field trials, and is therefore the
recommended location for AMGs with the backpack antenna.
Note: Record the Pre-Installation Information on the Installation Form located in AMG Kit.
