Vehicle Mounting

Cautions:
• To reduce the risk of damage to your vehicle's
finish, read the vehicle manufacturer's recom-
mendations fully before you use a magnetically–
mounted antenna.
• Be sure the base and contact area are dry before
you place the magnetically mounted antenna on
the car surface.
• Condensation trapped beneath the magnetic
base can discolor the vehicle's finish. We recom-
mend that you occasionally remove the magnetic
base from the vehicle by tilting the antenna's
base on its edge. Do not drag it across the vehi-
cle's surface, as this may scratch the vehicle's
finish. Use a soft cloth to wipe away any conden-
sation that has formed under the base, then
replace the base.
• New paint must cure for a period of time before
you can place equipment such as a magnetically-
mounted antenna on the finish. Check with the
vehicle's manufacturer or whoever painted the
vehicle for their recommendations.
