To install the 2301:
1. Install a 1” x 14 UNF thread
antenna
mount in the desired
location.
2. Screw a mounting extension
onto the antenna mount.
3. Feed the 2301 cable through the
hole in the mounting extension,
bringing cable up through the
hollow core of the extension and
out the top.
4. Screw a mounting adapter onto
the extension, bringing cable up
through hollow core of the
adapter and out the top.
5. Screw the 2301’s bottom half
(base) onto mounting adapter.
6. Plug the cable’s connector into
connector on the 2301’s base.
7. Place the 2301’s top half
(antenna) onto base.
8. Align top half of the 2301 with
the base, and tighten with four
supplied screws. Do not over-
tighten the screws or you may
damage the housing. Use a
tie-wrap or similar near the 2301
to hold the cable and help avoid
stressing the 2301’s connector
with the cable’s weight. Coil any
extra cable away from the 2301.
Don’t pinch the cable or make
any sharp bends. Don’t run the
cable where it interferes with any
controls.
9. Plug the 958 end of the cable
into the connector labelled
“GPS.”
