Dismounting magnetically mounted antenna

• Vehicular installation

3004129 Revision A
The magnet mount consists of three individual high-intensity
magnets with rubber coating. Each magnet has a stainless steel
center bolt.
First attach the magnets to the antenna. There are three "legs" on
the antenna where the magnets are placed. Note the position of
the two rubber washers just below and above each antenna "leg,"
the stainless steel washer above the upper rubber washer, and the
protective nut on top.

Now place the antenna with magnets on the roof of the car.
When installing the antenna cable, it's important to protect
against moisture, using self-amalgamating tape, or similar,
wrapped around the coaxial connector. Also be careful with the
cable run from the antenna and secure it at short intervals. An
unsupported length of cable will vibrate when driving and could
negatively affect the connection over time.
Use your hand to pry underneath the antenna near one of the
magnets and lift. When one magnet is loose, the other two are
easy to "break off."
