Introduction
The vehicle WIFI window mount antenna is intended for mounting on the
windshield of the vehicle. After completing the installation, the cable is concealed
between the headlining and the roof of the vehicle, with minimum disturbance to
the headlining and the upholstery. Figure 1-1 shows the WIFI window mount
antenna.

FCC Requirements
Consider the following factors when installing an antenna.
• Install the vehicle antenna internal to the vehicle on the windshield, and in
accordance with the requirements contained in this manual.
• Ensure the antenna cable can be easily routed to the radio.
• Ensure that the antenna cable is routed separately and not in parallel to any
other vehicle wiring or mobile radio cable wiring.
To comply with FCC regulations when installing the antenna
lead-in cable, DO NOT shorten the cable.

Installation Procedure
The installation procedure that follows is for a typical passenger car. The
procedure may vary slightly with the type of vehicle on which the antenna is to be
installed. Generally, however, the procedure outlined below is universal in nature.
Antenna Installation
1. Select a location for the antenna on the windshield. The antenna should be on
the PASSENGER side, close to the TOP, and on the FRONT WINDSHIELD
only. Make sure the antenna does not obstruct the view of the driver. For opti-
mum performance, a higher location on the windshield is better than a lower
one.
NOTE:
• Do not mount the antenna to the dashboard or the rear deck as the antenna
may obstruct the view of the vehicle driver as well as effect optimal RF per-
formance.
• Check the antenna location for any electrical interference. Keep away from
metallic tint, defroster wires, or other obstructions on the windshield.
• Keep WIFI Antenna at least one inch away from windshield edge and car
chassis metal.
2. Make sure the antenna is vertically polarized, so the radiation pattern is omni-
directional.
3. Test fit the antenna on the selected area prior to removing the release liner
from the tape on the antenna’s mounting surface.
4. Probe the headlining with your fingers to make sure that all points of obstruc-
tion are avoided.
5. Determine the routing of the cable from the antenna to the radio set, and then
remove the molding and trim necessary to facilitate pulling the cable through.
NOTE: If you experience difficulty with cable routing, use an electrician's
fishtape to perform this step.
6. Make sure the mounting glass surface is clean and free of debris. Clean sur-
face area with a lint-free cloth using isopropyl alcohol to remove any residue
grease or dirt buildup.
7. Remove the release liner and carefully position the antenna above the
selected mounting area.
8. Place the antenna on the mounting surface and apply even pressure to allow
the foam tape to conform to the windshield curvature.

NOTE: 50% of the bond strength is achieved after 20 minutes. Avoid contact with
the antenna for a minimum of 20 minutes after initial installation. Full bond
strength of the adhesive tape is realized after 72 hours.
.
9. Double check the connections and then reinstall molding and trim.
The adhesive tape is very strong and will bond instantly on
the mounting surface. Once the antenna is placed on the
surface, it cannot be moved.
