To install the 2301:

1.Install a 1” x 14 UNF thread antenna mount in the desired location.

2.Screw a mounting extension onto the antenna mount.

3.Feed the 2301 cable through the hole in the mounting extension, bringing cable up through the hollow core of the extension and out the top.

4.Screw a mounting adapter onto the extension, bringing cable up through hollow core of the adapter and out the top.

5.Screw the 2301’s bottom half (base) onto mounting adapter.

6.Plug the cable’s connector into connector on the 2301’s base.

7.Place the 2301’s top half (antenna) onto base.

8.Align top half of the 2301 with the base, and tighten with four supplied screws. Do not over- tighten the screws or you may damage the housing. Use a tie-wrap or similar near the 2301 to hold the cable and help avoid stressing the 2301’s connector with the cable’s weight. Coil any extra cable away from the 2301. Don’t pinch the cable or make any sharp bends. Don’t run the cable where it interferes with any controls.

9.Plug the 958 end of the cable into the connector labelled “GPS.”
