RF Energy Safety standards. Ensure that the trunk lid is grounded by connecting grounding straps
between the trunk lid and the vehicle chassis.
CAUTION: If these conditions cannot be satisfied, then mount the antenna on the roof top.
4. Ensure that the antenna cable can be easily routed to your radio. Route the antenna cable as far
away as possible from any vehicle electronic control units and associated wiring.
CAUTION: Ensure that your power cable is not placed with the antenna in parallel. Interference
can cause your radio to hang.
5. Check the antenna location for any electrical interference according to vehicle manufacturer
requirements.
6. The minimum distance between the antenna and your radio or accessories must be at least 91.5 cm
(3 ft).
7. Ensure that the mobile radio antenna is installed at least 3 ft (0.9 meter) away from any other antenna
on the vehicle.
NOTE: Any two metal pieces rubbing against each other (such as seat springs, shift levers,
trunk and hood lids, exhaust pipes) close to the antenna can cause severe receiver interference.
8. If a GPS or combined TETRA/GPS antenna is used, ensure that the antenna has a clear view to the
sky and that the antenna base that carries the GPS/GNSS receiver is not covered with any metallic or
radio frequency absorbing material.
