To ensure trouble-free, efficient installation, 
start by inspecting the vehicle to determine 
the optimum position for  G3

       

 and its an-

tennas as well as the routing of all associated 
cabling and wiring. 

Often, installations in cars are done in the 
trunk, underneath the back window ledge or 
on the trunk floor. In vans and small trucks, 
it is usually done in the back of the vehicle. 
In large vehicles, it is often done in the front 
cabin. 
 
Be sure to place the  G3

     

unit in such a way 

that: 

•  The LEDs can be seen (as an aid in 

troubleshooting) 

•  Access to the antenna DE-9 connectors 

is possible without removing the unit  

•  Sufficient air may flow around the unit 

to provide adequate cooling 

 
 G3

       

 is not fully waterproof, therefore it 

should be mounted sufficiently away from 
an opened trunk lid or opened tailgate, win-
dows or doors to avoid exposure to rain 
and/or snow. It also minimizes the chance 
that material can be accidentally thrown on 
the unit or of someone bumping against it.  

Try to route the cables away from locations 
where they would be exposed to heat (ex-
haust pipes, mufflers, tailpipes, etc.), battery 
acid, sharp edges, mechanical damage or 
where they would be a nuisance to automo-
bile mechanics, the driver or the passengers.  
Keep wiring away from automotive com-
puter modules, other electronic modules and 
ignition circuits to help prevent interference 
between these components and radio equip-
ment. 
Try using existing holes in firewall and 
trunk wall and the channels above and be-
low or beneath the doors, channels through 

doors and window columns that are conven-
ient to run cables and wires. 
Whenever possible, install conduit in which 
to run the cables. 
 

Before starting installation, review all of the 
following warnings. 

Qualified personnel must do all antenna in-
stallations. See paragraph 2.5.2 for recom-
mended antenna positioning. 
 
Transmissions when persons or animals out-
side the vehicle are within two feet of the 
antenna may result in radio energy radiation 
burns or related injuries. 

Certain vehicle electronic devices may be 
prone to malfunction due to lack of protec-
tion from radio frequency energy present 
when transmitting. 
 It includes, and is not limited to: 

- 

Electronic fuel injection systems 

- 

Electronic anti-skid braking systems 

- 

Electronic cruise control systems  

 
If the installation vehicle contains such 
equipment, consult the dealer for the make 
of vehicle and enlist his aid in determining if 
such electronic circuits will perform nor-
mally when the radio is transmitting. 

For vehicle occupant(s) safety, mount  G3

    

 

securely so that the unit will not break loose 
in case of an accident or violent maneuvers. 
 

Operation of vehicular radio transmitters in 
explosive environments may be hazardous 
and conventional safety precautions must 
prevail. These include and are not limited to: 

- 

Transmitting while fuelling the vehicle. 
Do not carry fuel containers in the same 
compartment as  G3
