3.1.2 Initial inspection
Inspect the shipping cartons and wooden box immediately upon receipt for evidence of
damage during transport. If the shipping material is severely damaged or water stained,
request that the carrier's agent be present when opening the cartons and wooden box. Save
all packing material for future use.
After unpacking the system, i.e. removing the top and sides of the wooden box and opening
the cartons, inspect it thoroughly for hidden damage and loose components or fittings. If
the contents are incomplete, if there is mechanical damage or defect, or if the system does
not work properly, notify your dealer.
3.2 To install the EXPLORER 8000 series
3.2.1 Prerequisites
Vehicle
The antenna is intended for installation on a vehicle, taking advantage of the vehicle’s
suspension system during transport. Inadequate or no suspension, e.g. trailer mount, will
require special measures - contact your dealer or factory before such installation.
Make sure the vehicle and roof rails are approved to carry the weight of the antenna. See
Weights and measures on page A-3.
Magnetizable material
When you install the antenna, make sure the amount of magnetizable material close to the
antenna is as small as possible, as magnetizable material could interfere with the
magnetometer and affect the precision of the system. If in doubt, make a test setup prior to
final manufacture of the supporting structure.
Line of sight
The antenna should be installed in such a way that no objects on the vehicle can block the
line of sight from the antenna in any direction.
WARNING! To avoid electric shock, do not apply power to the system
if there is any sign of shipping damage to any part of the front or rear
panel or the outer cover. Read the safety summary at the front of this
manual before installing or operating the system.
