Cable Separation and Routing

Cable Separation and Routing

FCC Information

The satellite antenna cable, FM extender antenna (FEA) cable and cigarette lighter adapter (CLA) power cable must be appropriately separated and routed for your radio to be compliant with federal regulations.

Step 1

The connections on your radio are clearly marked. Install your radio and connect the antenna cable into the connection labeled “ANT”, the CLA power cable into the power con- nection marked “PWR” (or 5VDC) and the FEA cable into the connection marked “FM OUT”. (See Figure 12.)

It is important that you keep the three cables as separate from each other as pos- sible and that you keep the two antenna cables away from the radio and from the CLA power cable. The cables must not be bundled together as they exit the radio (see Figure 13, on page 35).

As a guide, you can follow the diagram in Figure 13, adapting the example to suit your own vehicle’s configuration. For example, if you cigarette lighter socket is to the left of theradio, route the two antenna cables towards the passenger side of the vehicle. If your cigarette lighter socket is on the right-hand side of the radio, route the two antenna cables towards the driver’s door. The CLA cable and antenna cables MUST be routed in opposite directions. Safely conceal all antenna cables within door, carpet or cash panels to prevent snags and interference.
