GARMIN Group Ride Instructions

Mounting the Antenna

NOTE: The mounted antenna must be at least 4 cm (1.57 in.) away from the nearest roll bar or metal surface to avoid radio interference.

You can use the external antenna mount to mount your antenna in a more suitable location for your vehicle, such as a roll bar at the rear of your vehicle, to receive better radio reception. For the best results, use this method for vehicles that have a roll cage.

1. Screw down and tighten the antenna cable (1) onto the Group Ride mount (2).
2. Find a suitable location for the antenna.
3. Using a flat head screwdriver or 5/16 in. (8 mm) nut driver, loosen the bolt (3) on the external antenna mount until the ring separates.
4. Place the mount around the roll bar.
5. Tighten the bolt on the mount until the ring is secure.
6. Screw down and tighten the antenna (4) onto the external antenna mount plate.
7. Route the antenna cable along a suitable path in your vehicle, and secure it using the included zip ties.

Installing the Antenna on the Group Ride Mount
