horizon freely with 360° degrees.

GPS Antenna Locations

It is recommended to keep the GPS antenna out of the transmitting beam of high-

power transmitters such as Inmarsat devices and radar.

When connecting the cables, take note of the following precautions.

 Bending cables may cause damages to the inner wires and impair overall the

performances.

 Each coaxial cable should be set up separately and can only be set up in a

single cable tube.
