Plug the two antenna cables and wiring harness into the device.
Place the antenna under the dash above the instrument cluster (reference Image C). The adhesive side of the
antenna should be facing the sky.
A good placement of the device will yield a minimum of 7
satellites. The device will not transmit data location with
less than 4 satellites in view.
Run the antenna cables along the side of the dash at
the door hinge and place the NT-X5 under the dash. For
best results, use a zip-tie to secure the device to ensure
it doesn’t fall from beneath the dash.
Our device transmits once every 30 minutes if sitting
still, or once every 5 or 10 seconds (depending on your
rate plan) when the vehicle is moving faster than 4 mph.
Driving the vehicle around the block will assist in its first
data transmission.
The best location has a full view of the sky through the
front windshield (reference Image C.) Make sure the
device is kept free from direct exposure to the elements (sun, heat, rain, moisture).
When installed inside a building, your unit may not receive a GPS signal or cellular signal. GPS signals WILL
penetrate glass, plastic, foam, fiberglass, and wood. GPS signals will NOT penetrate metal.

Additional > Messaging
The NT-X5 device has the capability to integrate with certain supported Garmin products. These products, paired
with the NT-X5, allow unlimited messaging and also have the ability to send destinations from US Fleet Tracking’s
web-based system to devices in the field. The combination of the NT-X5 and Garmin products create unparalled
dispatch and communication functionality.
