Install and use the antenna with care
Thrane & Thrane A/S assumes no liability for any damage caused by the antenna falling off the
vehicle or stressing the mounting base. It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure a safe and
correct installation of the antenna. The instructions in the Installation manual are only guidelines.
Note the following safety guidelines for mounting the antenna with magnetic mounts:
CAUTION!
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.
Under normal driving circumstances the magnetic force of the magnetic mount kit for the antenna
should be sufficient to hold the antenna. However, the magnets may not be able to hold the
antenna in place, if:
• the vehicle is involved in an accident,
• the magnets are not mounted properly,
• the roof is not plain or made of a material that will not stick properly to the magnets,
• the speed of the vehicle is too high and/or
• the road is very bumpy.
We recommend mounting the antenna directly on the roof instead of using the magnetic mount
kit. Make sure that all mounting bolts and nuts are secured properly, and that the material of the
mounting surface is strong enough to hold the antenna during the intended use.
Failure to comply with the rules above will void the warranty!
