Installing the Antenna
■Before installing the antenna
2WARNING
• Mounting and wiring this product requires skills and
experience. For safety's sake, leave the mounting
and wiring work to professionals.
2CAUTION
• Incar antennas have a lower reception sensitivity
than antennas intended for outside mounting. The
picture may not appear or may be disturbed if the
signal in your area is weak.
• The film antennas are designed specially for use in
car.
• Do not attach the film antennas in the following
places:
– A place where the driver’s view is blocked
– A place where safety parts such as an airbag are prevented
from operating normally
– On the surface of a glass such as a rear hatch glass which
is frequently moved.
• The reception sensitivity lowers in the following
places:
– A place where a heat reflection glass or mirror-type glass
film is affixed
– A place where the film antenna of the factory-supplied
radio already exists
– On the window where the heating wire already exists
– On the side of the vehicle (door, front quarter window,
etc.)
– On the rear window
– On a glass (heat reflecting glass, heat insulating glass, etc.)
that blocks radio waves
• Using the cleaner (Accessory 0), remove oil and dirt
from the glass surface to which the film antennas
are to be affixed.
• If the ambient temperature is low, warm the glass
before starting the work.
• Before starting the work, confirm well the places
where the film antennas (Accessory 1and 2) and
the cables (Accessory 3and 4) are to be installed.
Once peeled off, the film antennas and double-stick
tape lose adhesion.
• Do not fold or damage the film antennas.
• Noise generated by the air conditioner or monitor
can cause poor TV reception.
• The film antennas cannot be installed depending on
the vehicle model.
• The reception sensitivity can vary with the
windshield wiper operation depending on the
vehicle model.
• The reception sensitivity can vary depending on the
relationship between the traveling direction of the
vehicle (the pointing direction of the antennas) and
the location of the broadcast station.

1. Confirm the installation place.
• Affix the film antennas and cable
connectors to the front windshield
following the laws and regulations of
your country.
• Affix each film antenna so that it does
not overlap the ceramic line. Affixing
the antenna on the ceramic line will
lose the adhesion force.
2. Using the cleaner (Accessory
0), wipe dirt off the antenna
installation surface.
3. Affix each film antenna.
1) Peel off the release paper (half-
transparent sheet) 1starting at the
slit, and then affix the film antenna to
the windshield.
• Once peeled off, the remaining
portions of the antenna cannot be
affixed again. Confirm the installation
place again.
2) Peel off the release paper 2starting
at either slit, and affix the film
antenna to the windshield.
3) Peel off the release paper 3and
release paper 4and affix the film
antenna to the windshield in the
same manner as above.
• Either the left or right side of the film
antenna can be affixed first.
• Inserting the release paper 1under
the corner of the film antenna as
shown on the right allows you to
peel off other sheets of release paper
easily.

Rubbing directions and places
4. Rub a rubber spatula against the
transparent sheet to affix the
antenna element to the windshield
tightly. If the rubber spatula is
not available, use a small board
wrapped with cloth.
5. Slowly peel off the transparent
sheet along the element line.
6. Make sure that the antenna element
has been affixed tightly, and then
affix the cable connector to the
element terminal.
7. Route the cable and secure it
with the supplied cable clamps
(Accessory 5).
