1. BEFORE YOU START
The aerial is designed to be mounted directly onto the inside of the
windscreen. The aerial should be powered through a separate 12 volt feed.
In vehicles with polarized windscreens, it is advised to fit the aerial to the
rear or side window. Bear in mind that heated rear screen could affect the
performance or reception. When fitting to the windscreen ensure that
the area is clean and dry. Position the aerial so it does not obstruct the
driver’s view of the road.
2. INSTALLATION
► Locate the position for the aerial, ensuring that it is large enough to
accommodate the entire footprint of the aerial and to allow the earth
plane strip to be mounted to a clean painted metal surface.
► Clean the area on the windscreen and ensure it is dry.
► Offer the aerial up to the location and plan the route for the wiring so
that it will not cause a distraction to the driver, or cause an obstruction.
► Remove the sticky pad bases and hold the aerial firmly into position for
30 seconds to ensure the pads stick. Stick the earth plane strip to the
metal surface.
► Secure the wiring and connect the antenna to the receiver. The unit
has an SMB female connection.
► Connect the black wire to the 12 volt aerial output of the receiver.
Alternatively, connect to the ignition supply of the receiver.
