Magnet Mount:
The Magnet Mount feature includes a suction cup on the bottom of the microbar,
with a magnet inside of the suction cup, for a secure, temporary mount. The
microbar should be placed in the center of the roof where the least amount of
curvature occurs. Before installing, make sure the mounting surface is clean and
there is no debris on the bottom of the microbar or on the roof of the vehicle, which
could reduce the holding power of the suction cup and magnet. Place and remove
the microbar without sliding to avoid scratching the paint on the vehicle. After
placement, the microbar should adhere firmly to the surface. If the unit slides or
moves easily, a proper installation has not been obtained. To release, lift the tab to
release the airlock (see Figure 1). To protect the Magnet Mount assembly, return
microbar to the box when not in use. Do not attempt to attach the microbar to an
ice-covered surface.
