For more than 40 Watt VHF models, the 1/4 wave antenna should be mounted only in the
center area of the roof, not on the trunk lid, to assure compliance with RF Energy Safety
standards.
5. Ensure that the antenna cable can be easily routed to the radio. Route the antenna cable as
far away as possible from any vehicle electronic control units and associated wiring.

Any two metal pieces rubbing against each other (such as seat springs, shift levers, trunk
and hood lids, exhaust pipes, etc.) in close proximity to the antenna can cause severe
receiver interference.
