Installing the DAB antenna
Connect the supplied DAB antenna to the DAB antenna jack. (Page 3)
CAUTION
• The film antenna (F) is exclusively for use inside the vehicle.
• Do not install at the following locations:
– where it may block the driver's view.
– where it may obstruct the operation of safety devices such as air bags.
– on movable glass surfaces such as the rear hatch.
– at side of vehicle (e.g. door, front quarter window).
– on rear window.
• Signal strength will weaken when installed at the following locations:
– on IR reflecting glass or locations covered with mirror type glass film.
– where it overlaps with genuine radio antenna (pattern).
– where it overlaps with window heating wires.
– on glass that blocks radio signals (e.g. IR reflecting glass, thermal
insulation glass).
• Poor reception may occur:
– due to noise when windscreen wiper, air conditioner, or motor is turned
on.
– depending on the direction of the broadcast station with respect to the
vehicle (antenna).
• Thoroughly wipe oil and dirt from the pasting surface with the supplied
cleaner (I).
• Do not bend or damage the film antenna (F).
• It may not be possible to install on certain vehicles.
• Check the cable routing of the film antenna (F) and amplifier unit (G)
before pasting.
• Do not apply any glass cleaner after pasting the film antenna (F).

Determine the antenna installation position
• The direction of the film antenna (F) changes depending on whether
the film antenna (F) is installed on the right side or left side.
• Be sure to check the installation location of film antenna (F) before
installing. Film antenna cannot be re-pasted.
• Separate from other antennas by at least 100 mm.
• Do not paste the amplifier unit (G) on the ceramic line (black part)
around the front glass. Because there is not enough adhesion.
