Identify a location for NMO outside antenna
on the top of your vehicle that is:
■ Near the center of the roof
■ At least 12 inches away from any other
antennas
■ At least 6 inches away from any windows
(for best performance install on top of
vehicle)
Do a soft install before finalizing the antenna
mounting point. Setup the system by routing
the cable through an open door or window.
Complete the setup instructions, verifying the
system works as desired before finishing the
remaining portion of this step.
STEP 1 Mount the Outside
Antenna

Once the antenna location point has been
identified, route the cable into the vehicle.
The cable is strong enough that it may be
shut in most vehicle doors without damage
or the cable can be routed into the vehicle
through the third brake, as shown.

After running cable through third brake
light to into vehicle, pull down the
headliner so the cable can be routed into
the vehicle cabin. Route the cable down
the vehicle pillar to the desired booster
location. After the cable is routed reattach
the third break light and put the headliner
back into place.

Identify a place to mount the in-vehicle
antenna, either on the side of the seat or on
the dash and mount. The location should
be at least 18 inches but no more than 36
inches from where the cellular device will
be used. Use the Velcro® adhesive strip/
adhesive strip provided and attach to
desired location.

The Drive Reach Flex Fleet kit includes a CLA and Hardwire power option. The CLA
power can be connected to a vehicle cigarette lighter port. Hardwire instructions are
below. Use the steps below as a general template for wiring the power. There are
multiple options for wiring and steps will vary depending on the vehicle type.
■ Locate the vehicle fuse box. The fuse box location will vary by vehicle, refer to the
vehicle's owner’s manual.
■ Route the power cable from the booster to the fuse box. If the fuse box is located
under hood of the vehicle the cable will need to be ran through the firewall. Most
vehicles will have a designated spot to run cable from the cabin to the engine bay.
■ Determine which fuse to hardwire the power to. Find an open fuse slot that is
ignition-switched, if there are no open fuse slots tied to the vehicle ignition power
can be attached to an existing fuse. Wiring to an ignition-switched fuse will ensure
the booster is not drawing power when the vehicle is o. Refer to the vehicle
owner’s manual for information about the fuses.
Note: You can use a circuit tester to test if the fuse is constant or ignition-switched.
A constant fuse will stay on when the vehicle is o, and an ignition-switched fuse
will have power when the vehicle is on but no power when it is o.
STEP 3 Hardwiring to Power

7
(STEP 3 cont.)
■ Connecting the power supply. Once you have determined a fuse slot to use connect
the positive lead on the power cable to the included in-line fuse then attach to a
fuse tap and crimp into place (fuse tap is not included in the kit and will vary by
vehicle type). Connect the fuse tap to the fuse slot you have chosen.
Note: You will need to determine which type of fuse tap is needed to complete the
power wiring. Variations include ATO, Mini, Low Profile and Micro2. Consult the
vehicle owner’s manual to determine which fuse is needed for your installation.
■ Grounding the power supply. Most vehicle will have a factory grounding point.
Slip the negative lead “black” on the power supply under the metal bolt on the
grounding point and tighten into place.
■ Testing the booster power. With the power supply hardwiring completed and inside
and outside antennas in place attach the power supply to the booster. Turn the
vehicle ignition on and make sure the booster power lights turn on. Then turn the
ignition o to make sure the booster powers o.

Connect the cable from the Outside Antenna
to the port labeled “Outside Antenna” on the
booster and connect the cable from the Inside
Antenna to the port labeled “Inside Antenna”
on the booster.
Note: If the hardwire power option was
implemented, booster will receive power only
when ignition is on.
