For on-glass antenna, use adhesive pad with temperature range of -40°C to +90°C and bond not affected by moisture.

Motorola recommends the following antenna suppliers:

PCTEL Antenna Specialists, www.antenna.com. For 850/1900MHz on-glass antenna with SMA male connector use P/N APDM928S.

Panorama Antennas, www.panorama-antennas.com.

For 900/1800MHz on-glass antenna with FME connector, use P/N GDE-5F.

For 900/1800MHZ on-glass antenna with SMA Male connector, use P/N GDE-5S.

Antenna Installation

Attention! Ensure the antenna is located at least 20 cm (8 inches) away from all vehicle occupants.

Attention! To avoid audio interference, do not thread the antenna cable dose to the microphone cable.

Use original antenna plug and clamping tools only. Test antenna and cable performance using a VSWR meter.

The preferred position for on-glass antenna is either on the upper right side or upper left side of the windshield, opposite from the driver's seat. Should another cellular device already be installed in the vehicle, the antennas should be located at a distance of at least 30 cm (12 inches) from the other.

Note: Certain car models include a 'heat reflective' front windshield and therefore it is necessary to glue the antenna on the side or on the rear windshield only.
