Pre-Installation Considerations
•Important: Professional installation is highly recommended due to the
complexity of electronic components within the vehicle.
•Check parts list. If any shortages call Antenna Specialists Customer
Service 800-321-9977. (See Fig. 1, page 4)
•Integrity of the installation will be compromised if one or more of the
following are present at the planned installation location.
1. Rain X™ or other commercial water repellant.
2. After market window tinting material.
If present, remove material or select a different location before
installing.
•Do not install “On-Glass”®antenna on front windshield.
•Antenna must have an unobstructed view of the roofline, including
clearance of roof racks, etc. (See Fig. 2, page 5)
•Identify location of installation. Verify location using Template, Glass
Curvature Tool and instructions provided. Avoid locations with
extremely curved glass.
•Receiver location cannot be more than 17 feet from antenna.
•Check for cold weather install; the temperature must be at least 60°F.
•Record Serial No., Model No. and Manufacturer’s Code on back
cover (see Fig. 22, pg. 14 for data location)
•Caution: Cable must NOT be cut or altered in any manner as
reception will be adversely affected.
