Finding the Best Antenna Mounting
Location
1 Temporarily plug the antenna into the back of
the cradle—ANT. until it is firmly secured.
2 Find an antenna location on a metal surface of
your car—at least 30 cm ×30 cm (12 inches ×
12 inches), and at least 15 cm (6 inches) from a
window.
•The antenna’s powerful magnet will secure it to
the metal surface.

into the cigarette lighter.
4 Slide JVC PnP all the way into the cradle so
that the connector at the bottom of the unit
makes proper contact in the cradle.
