Where to Mount the Antenna
General
Motorola recommends that mobile antennas be located as follows:
Select a location for the antenna as near the center of the roof as possible. Probe the headlining with
your fingers to make sure that all points of obstruction are avoided.
Remove the antenna from the vehicle when entering a garage
to prevent damage to the vehicle and the antenna whip/ball
from damaging overhead light fixtures and garage doors.
Remove the entire antenna from the vehicle before entering
the automatic car wash to prevent damage to the antenna and
vehicle. The antenna mount contact must be wiped dry to
prevent moisture from damaging the contact.
