Page 2: Warning And Safety Information
Warning and Safety Information Caution Because adhesive is used in the installation of the rubber cover/tail, it is recommended that the antenna be installed at or above room temperature (68 degrees). Lower temperatures may cause the adhesive on the rubber cover/tail to not adhere properly to the vehicle roof. Warmer temperatures will also allow for easier over all antenna installation, including easier routing of the antenna cable through the rubber molding around the windows and other areas in the ve- hicle. -
