ANTENNA
The antenna cannot be shortened, but can
be removed. When you need to remove the
antenna, turn the antenna rod counterclock-
wise.
To install the antenna rod, turn the antenna
clockwise. Tighten the antenna rod to speci-
fication using a suitable tool such as an
open-end wrench. The antenna rod tighten-
ing specification is 3.4 - 3.6 Nzm(30-32
in-lb). Do not use pliers to tighten the an-
tenna as they can leave marks on the
antenna surface. The antenna rod cannot
be hand tightened to the proper specifica-
tion.
CAUTION
Always properly tighten the antenna
rod during installation or the antenna
rod may break during vehicle opera-
tion.When installing a CB ham radio or a car
phone in your NISSAN, be sure to observe
the following cautions, otherwise the new
equipment may adversely affect the Multi-
port Fuel Injection (MFI) system and other
electronic parts.
WARNING
cA cellular telephone should not be
used while driving so full attention
may be given to vehicle operation.
Some jurisdictions prohibit the use
of cellular telephones while driving.
cIf you must make a call while your
vehicle is in motion, the hands free
cellular phone operational mode (if
so equipped) is highly recom-
mended. Exercise extreme caution
at all times so full attention may be
given to vehicle operation.
cIf a conversation in a moving vehicle
requires you to take notes, pull off
the road to a safe location and stop
your vehicle before doing so.
CAUTION
cKeep the antenna as far away as
possible from the Engine Control
Module (ECM).
c
Keep the antenna wire more than 8 in.
(20 cm) away from the Multiport Fuel
Injection harness. Do not route the
antenna wire next to any harness.

ratio as recommended by the manu-
facturer.
