4 GA 30 GPS Antenna Installation Instructions
Under-deck Mounting the GA 30 Antenna
The GA 30 antenna can be mounted under a berglass surface with the adhesive pads attached
to the under-deck mounting bracket. The GA 30 will not acquire satellite signals through
metal—you can only use the under-deck mount under a berglass surface.
1. Determine the location on the berglass surface where you want to mount the GA 30.
2. Place the adhesive pads on the under-deck mounting bracket.
3. Place the GA 30 in the under-
deck mounting bracket.
4. Adhere the under-deck
mounting bracket to the
mounting surface.
5. Secure the under-deck mount
to the mounting surface with
screws. Use extreme care to
ensure that the screws do not
penetrate the upper surface of the
deck.
6. Connect the cable to the GA 30.
7. Route the cable away from sources
of electronic interference, and connect it to your GPS device using the BNC connector.
