6 ANTENNA INSTALLATION
6.1 ANTENNA MOUNTING LOCATIONS
At this time, review all information presented in the
REGULATORY AND
SAFETY INFORMATION section of this manual (see page 6). A transmitting
antenna must be installed in accordance with the guidelines presented in both the
REGULATORY AND SAFETY INFORMATION section, and in this section.
Figure 6-1 below illustrates recommended antenna mounting locations. Use this figure together with the
minimum safe lateral distance data presented in Table 1-1 on page 8 as a guide for determining the best
possible antenna mounting location(s). This is necessary in order to reduce human exposure to radio
frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy when the radio is transmitting. The radio’s antenna(s) must be
located on the vehicle as shown in Figure 6-1. Always follow antenna mounting and installation
instructions presented in this section and any instructions provided with an antenna.
See Table 4-7 on page 30 for detailed descriptions of the antenna element and the antenna mounts.
