1.1.3 GPS/VHF combined antenna

Install the combined antenna unit referring to the outline drawing. When selecting a mounting location for the antenna, keep in mind the following points.

•Select a location out of the radar beam. The radar beam will obstruct or prevent reception of the GPS satellite signal.

•There should be no interfering object within the line-of-sight to the satellites. Objects within line-of-sight to a satellite, for example, a mast, may block reception or prolong acquisition time.

•Mount the antenna unit as high as possible. Mounting it this way keeps it free of interfering objects and water spray, which can interrupt reception of GPS satellite signal if the water freezes.

•Also, refer to the antenna installation guidelines page 3.
