Mounting Instructions
1. Attach and secure the mounting plate to the highest point on the safety cage,
following these precautions
• The plate must be mounted so the antenna is not damaged while the vehicle or any of
its parts are moving.
• The mounting plate must be parallel to the floor.
• If the computer requires two antennas, they must be mounted at least 12 inches
(304.8mm) apart.
2. Attach the female connector of the coaxial cable to the antenna connector on the
vehicle mounted computer.
3. Insert the male connector on the coaxial cable though the hole in the mounting plate.
4. Secure the connector to the mounting plate with the washer and hex nut.
5. Use cable ties to secure the coaxial cable to the vehicle as necessary. Make sure the
cable is routed so it is not damaged by any moving parts of the vehicle.
6. Attach the antenna to the male connector on the end of the coaxial cable. The
antenna must be mounted in a vertical position.
7. If the computer is using dual antennas (diversity option), repeat steps for second
antenna.
Note Please refer to the reference guide for the computer to ensure the radio card
is properly configured to use antenna diversity.
