XNAV9525 GPS NAVIGATION SYSTEM
7
Installation - Antenna
• Determine a suitable location for mounting the GPS antenna. For optimum reception,
the antenna should be mounted in the center of the vehicle roof with a minimum of 6”
from any window.
• The antenna can also be mounted to the rear trunk lid at least 4” from the rear window.
• Do not install the antenna in a location where it may obstruct the field of view to the
skyline such as on the front dashboard or rear deck tray.
• Clean the mounting location thoroughly before attaching the antenna. The antenna uses
a powerful magnet and requires no adhesive to apply. Do not slide the antenna during
positioning as damage to the painted surface can occur.
• Once the antenna is mounted, carefully plan the cable route to the XNAV9525. Be careful
not to pinch or twist the antenna cable. Use a grommet when running wires through
any metal openings.
Notes:
Do not install the GPS antenna inside the vehicle - as this will reduce reception
significantly. The antenna must be mounted on a metallic surface for best performance.
If a suitable metal surface is not available, the included metal pad may be used to mount
the antenna on.
GPS Signal
When the system is turned on for the first time (or if it has been idle for several days, or
been moved more than 250 miles while off), it can take several minutes to acquire a GPS
signal. GPS signal acquisition times will be typically less than a minute when the unit is
turned on again.
