Proper External Antenna Installation - Signal Reception
The illustrations show both the proper and improper place-
ment of a fixed antenna on a boat. Physical obstructions (build-
ings, large trees, mountains, etc.) will block satellite signals
from reaching the receiver. If the unit is unable to get a posi-
tion fix, move the receiver antenna so it has a clearer view of
the sky, allowing it to choose from all of the satellites cur-
rently available.
For an illustration of the antenna mounting, see the mount-
ing instruction sheet included with the antenna package.
