Since the "view" is restricted to what can be seen through the window,
this operating mode will reduce position accuracy and will increase the
chance of losing satellite lock. Inside a plane, the unit operates best
with an external antenna mounted on the windshield or dash.
You may achieve good results by simply placing the external RAA-4
antenna on the top of the dash, at the base of the windshield. Many pi-
lots like to attach the antenna to the top of their instrument panel glare
shields. Depending on the surface, a strip of adhesive Velcro
or a piece
of the rubber non-skid shelf liner material available in recreational ve-
hicle supply stores will help hold the antenna in place.
We recommend attaching the antenna to your windshield or other win-
dow. For this reason, the remote active antenna packaged with your
AirMap includes a suction-cup mount. Be sure to mount the antenna in
a location where it will not obstruct your view.
Press suction cup plate firmly against a window with unobstructed view.
Wherever you mount the antenna, make sure it is in a location with an
unobstructed view of the sky. If you're sticking it to a window, moisten
the suction cups on the mounting plate and press firmly against the
window. Route the cable so that it won't interfere with flying. Then,
simply plug the connector into the unit's antenna socket, located on the
back, in the upper left corner of the case. The AirMap will automati-
cally switch to use the RAA-4 remote antenna when plugged in.

Attach the mounting bracket to the stem of the yoke. Then, tighten the
knob at the bracket's base to keep the bracket from sliding around on
the yoke stem. Next, angle the arm so that the unit will be held in front
