Installation Instructions Part 2

31
Typical Mobile Antenna Installation
A permanent mount-type antenna should be located in the center of
the roof or center of rear deck. Important Note: Rear deck
mounting of an antenna is only applicable when the installation
provides at least 55 inches between the antenna and occupants of
the vehicle.
The Maximum Permissible Exposure limit is a radius of 55
inches (or 138 cm) for roof or rear deck installations per OET
Bulletin 65 of the FCC. This estimate is made using the
maximum capable transmit power of the radio, an antenna with
a maximum gain of 3 dBd, and a maximum 50% transmit duty
cycle (due to the push-to-talk status of this mobile).

Try to route the cable away from locations where it will be exposed
to heat, sharp edges or mechanical damage, and where it will be out
of the way of the driver, passengers or vehicles mechanics.
Wherever possible, existing holes in the trunk wall, and the channels
above or beneath doors and window columns should be utilized.
Avoid routing the antenna cable near any electronic modules or
along side any vehicle wiring.
Connect the antenna cable to the TNC on the radio, being careful not
to twist the cable.
