Reliable GPS Location Reception

The PMAN4001B receives satellite-positioning signals for compatible Motorola mobile radios equipped with GPS functionality. It supports applications such as vehicle location reporting, dispatch visibility and fleet management.

The active antenna design incorporates internal signal amplification to help provide dependable GPS reception to the connected radio.

Clean On-Glass Installation

The antenna is designed for mounting on a suitable vehicle window, commonly near the top of the windshield. This provides an unobstructed view of the sky while avoiding a permanent hole in the vehicle’s roof or trunk.

The mounting surface should be thoroughly cleaned before installation. Placement on windows containing metallic coatings, embedded heating elements or heavy tinting may reduce GPS reception.

Radio Compatibility

The PMAN4001B is compatible with select GPS-capable Motorola mobile radios, including models from the following families:

• MOTOTRBO XPR 4000 Series

• MOTOTRBO XPR 5000 Series

• MOTOTRBO XPR 5000e Series

• Select Motorola APX mobile radios

Compatibility depends on the exact radio model, installed GPS options and antenna connection. The connected radio must support GPS operation and have the appropriate antenna port.

Important Installation Note

The PMAN4001B is a GPS antenna only. It does not replace the VHF, UHF or 700/800/900 MHz antenna required for two-way voice communication.

A separate mobile RF antenna is still required for transmitting and receiving radio communications. Confirm connector compatibility and installation requirements before ordering.

On-Glass vs. Magnetic Mount

The PMAN4001B attaches to a vehicle window for a discreet installation. Customers who prefer a removable magnetic roof or trunk installation should consider the Motorola PMAN4002A magnetic-mount GPS active antenna.

Why Choose the Motorola PMAN4001B?

The PMAN4001B provides a clean way to add external GPS reception to a compatible Motorola mobile radio without drilling through the vehicle body. Its compact design and on-glass installation make it an excellent choice for fleet vehicles requiring dependable location reporting and a professional appearance.
