Step 1: Drill Cable Entry Hole
To Your Vehicle
Identify a location for the 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 12 inches away from any windows
(for best performance install on top of vehicle)
Do a ‘soft install’ before drilling the hole for the
cable entry.
Set up the system by routing the cable through
an open door or window, completing the setup
instructions, verifying the system works as desired,
and then drilling the hole.
12 inches away from windows

Place the protective tape on the
vehicle in the desired location.
Using a 3/4” hole saw, drill a hole
in the center of the protective
tape.

After hole has been drilled, insert NMO mounting cable
through (connector end first) and remove collar.
Position threads of the cable mount above vehicle surface.
Apply included silicone grease to the o-ring on the collar then
screw the collar to the base mount to seal opening. Ensure the
mount is centered in the hole and tighten with wrench.

For a professional installation, we recommend routing the cable
under the headliner and down through the side trim panel to
the desired booster location on the floor of the vehicle.

Before attaching the antenna, apply a thin layer of silicone
grease to the antenna o-ring, and to the threads of the NMO
mount. Screw the antenna onto the NMO mount and hand
tighten into place.

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 or the 2-sided adhesive strip provided
and attach to the side of the antenna labeled “MOUNTING
SIDE”. Then mount to desired location.
Identify a place to mount the in-vehicle antenna, either on
the side of the seat or on the dash and mount.

Step 4: Hardwiring To Power
The Drive Reach 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.
■ 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.
