5.0 Mounting the Unit Once the AMG is connected to the Molex 8-pin connector as well as the Deutsch 4-pin connector, the AMG base unit may be secured to the vehicle. An AMG is properly secured when: • It cannot be easily moved or jostled around • The backpack antenna remains horizontal, with a clear line-of-sight to the sky. The backpack antenna needs to be secured also if it has been unscrewed from the AMG. • The 4 lights on the AMG are visible so that proper operation of the AMG may be confirmed.
