CELL SIGNAL BOOSTER DRIVE X OTR FLEET
______
Step 1: Select Mounting
Location
Depending on the type of truck, there may be built-in antenna
mounting points. If the vehicle does not have built-in mounting
points, the antenna includes a three-way mount that will work
on vehicles with mirror rails. The antenna will also work with
third party CB antenna mounts.
Select mounting location on vehicle. The antenna can be
mounted in any CB mount or antenna mounting point on the
vehicle. For best performance mount the antenna above the
metal cab (it does not need to be above cab wind deflector).
Typical Antenna
Mounting Points
NOTE: Mount at least 12 inches from any other antennas. Free of obstructions.
NOTE: If the vehicle is using two CB antennas co-phase wiring, removing one
antenna will cause reduced performance of the remaining CB antenna.

Once you have determined the
best location for the antenna
and have determined if Mast
Extensions are needed, insert
cable through mast.
If using Mast Extension(s) add
thread locker (provided) to thread
point(s). Screw into place.
Add thread locker (provided) to
thread point and screw on the
Side Exit Adapter.
NOTE: Mast Extensions may not be
needed depending on your mounting
point.
NOTE: Be sure the antenna is the correct
height before applying thread locker.
NOTE: When adding the side exit adapter
hold the antenna vertically and screw the
adapter from the bottom up. This reduces
cable twisting.

Step 4: Mount Inside Antenna
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.

Before connecting the power supply, disconnect the vehicle battery
leads to avoid any electrical shocks during installation.
Locate a place where cables are already running through the firewall
(rear wall of engine bay) to the inside of the cabin.
Locate the same firewall hole from inside of the vehicle cabin.
Route the power cables of the power supply from the inside of the
vehicle cabin out through firewall hole.
Note: The cables must be routed inside to outside since the power
supply brick won’t fit through the firewall holes. The power supply
brick should remain inside the vehicle cabin.
Connect the positive lead of the power supply (lead with red tape)
to the disconnected positive (+) lead of the battery (not the positive
terminal on the battery itself).
Connect the negative lead of the power supply (lead without tape)
to the disconnected negative (-) lead of the battery (not the negative
terminal on the battery itself).
Connect the positive (+) lead back to the vehicle battery.
Connect the negative (-) lead back to the vehicle battery.
Use steps below as a draft/template of the general install of
the power supply.

NOTE: Having the power supply directly connected to the battery may
drain the battery’s life. Please review the vehicle’s owner’s manual for more
information. Adding a “fuse tap” may be another solution. A “fuse tap” is an
electrical part that functions as a power splitter and is meant to be installed
in the car’s fuse box, making the amp shut o when the vehicle’s ignition
switch is turned o.
IMPORTANT: Power supply must be wired to fuse.
