Low RDS Traffic Signal (for Traffic Service Users)

In order to improve the RDS Traffic signal strength, you may need to separate the RDS antenna away from the power cord on the Cradle. Carefully follow these instructions:

1Power off the unit and unplug the Cigarette Lighter Charger.

2Identify the RDS antenna. It is the thin, black, insulated wire that runs the full- length of the thicker power cord. (See diagram on page 9)

3 Carefully cut the thin RDS antenna at the point where it enters the connector that attaches it to the Cigarette Lighter Charger.

Slowly peel the antenna away from the power cord to leave about 50 inches of the antenna separated and hanging free.

Place antenna on the vehicle dashboard or for best results, mount the antenna to the windshield using the provided suction cups (please see suction cup instructions for details)
