windows)
– On rear windows
• Signal strength will decrease at the following
locations:
– On IR reflecting glass or where covered with mirror
type glass film
– Where it overlaps with genuine radio antenna
(pattern)
– Where it overlaps with window heating wires
– When glass that blocks radio signals (e.g. IR
reflecting glass, thermal insulation glass) is used
• Poor reception may occur:
– Due to noise when the windshield wipers, air
conditioner, or motor is turned on
– Depending on the location of the broadcast station
in relation to the vehicle (antenna)
• Thoroughly wipe oil and dirt from the pasting surface
with the included cleaner (accessory ~).

The antenna should be installed on the
passenger side for safety.
● Determining the antenna installation
location
• The direction of the film antenna (accessory !)

antenna (accessory !) before installing. The film
antenna cannot be reattached.
