GPS Antenna/Receiver Module Installation

This unit's package includes the EGC-12w GPS module. This device contains the unit’s external antenna and receiver for GPS and WAAS signals. The antenna/receiver module comes with a 25-foot extension cable. This module can be mounted on a flat surface or pole, or a mag- net is included for temporary mounting on any ferrous surface.

You need to select an antenna installation location that has a clear, un- obstructed view of the sky. After the module is installed, route the cable to the unit, plug it in the center socket on the back and your system is ready to use. See the module's instruction sheet, publication part num- ber 988-0148-371, for complete installation directions.

In an automobile, you may achieve good results by simply placing the external antenna on the top of the dash, at the base of the windshield. a piece of the rubber non-skid shelf liner material available in recreational vehicle supply stores will help hold the antenna in place. This may not work well if you have a cab-over design pickup truck camper or motor
