Magnetic Mount - COBHAM EXPLORER 325 Installation Manual

2.3.4 Magnetic mount

Overview
The antenna comes mounted with 3 individual high intensity magnets with rubber coating. You
can place the EXPLORER 325 antenna directly on the roof of the vehicle using these magnets.
To install antenna with the magnetic mount kit
Make sure the roof of the vehicle is made of a magnetizable material. Wipe the
Note
surface clean before you place the antenna on the roof, in order to make a better
connection between the magnets and the roof and to avoid scratches in the surface.
To use the magnetic mounts, do as follows:
1. Place the antenna with magnets on the roof of the car. Remember that the magnets only
work on a roof made of magnetizable material!
2. Connect the antenna cable between the terminal and the antenna.
Refer to Antenna cables on page 5.
To detach the antenna
Grab the antenna near one of the magnets and lift it. When one magnet is loose, the other two
are easier to "break off".

CAUTION!
Do not place your fingers underneath the antenna when you
place the antenna on the vehicle!
The magnetic force is very powerful and your fingers may be hurt if they are
caught between the antenna and the mounting surface.
