Airlink Raven and PinPoint CDMA 11.3 Installing the Antennas

Raven and PinPoint CDMA User Guide Version 1.12

11.3 Installing the Antennas

There are three options for an antenna:

• magnetic roof-mount

• through glass-mount

• permanent mount

1. Mount the GPS Antenna in the vehicle. The less the cable is wrapped and

bound together, the better it will perform. Place it on the roof, or on the dash,

or rear panel where it has a good view of the sky (greater than a 90° angle

view of the sky -- see Figure 2).

2. Connect the GPS Antenna into the PinPoint’s rear panel.

3. Connect the CDMA Cellular Antenna to the PinPoint’s TNC connector.

4. Plug in the power connector into the power receptacle on the PinPoint’s rear

panel.

Note: The green power light should be on at this point.
