- Mounting the Combination Antenna (VC6096 only)
- 1. For best performance, it is recommended to install the antenna outside of the cabin. When installing the antenna in the vehicle cabin or indoors, keep a minimum distance of 70 cm (2.3 ft.) between the antenna and the VC6096.
- 2. The antenna should be directed vertically to the horizon to assure maximum exposure.
- 3. To ensure best performance, the antenna should be mounted as far away as possible from walls, floors and metal containing objects. Keep an obstacle free zone of 10 cm (3.9 inches) from walls, cabinets, air duct, metal-framed windows, doors etc.
- 4. When mounting the antenna inside the vehicle, it is recommended to install the antenna at the top right hand side of the windshield.
- Mounting the GPS Antenna (VC6096 only)
- 1. Recommended GPS antenna - Motorola part number 8508851K59.
- 2. The GPS antenna must be mounted on the top of the dashboard or vehicle roof. For best performance, install the GPS antenna on the center-line of the vehicle roof.
- 3. Keep a minimum distance of 40 cm (16 inches) between the Combination antenna and the GPS antenna.
- 4. The antenna is attached by a magnet to a flat metal surface (minimum 7 cm x 7 cm, 2.75 inches x 2.75 inches). Before mounting the GPS antenna on a dashboard, install a flat Metal Plate on the dashboard to hold the GPS antenna.
- 5. The antenna should be directed parallel to the horizon to assure exposure to as many satellites as possible.

Vehicle Installation
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded
electronic systems in motor vehicles (including safety systems).
Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle.
You should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has
been added to your vehicle.
An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including
either installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air
bag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is
improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.
Position your device within easy reach. Be able to access your device
without removing your eyes from the road.
Note: Connection to an alert device that will cause a vehicle horn to
sound or lights to flash, on receipt of a call on public roads, is not
permitted.
CAUTION In order to avoid or minimize the potential risk of
ergonomic injury follow the recommendations below.
Consult with your local Health & Safety Manager to ensure
that you are adhering to your company's safety programs
to prevent employee injury.
