Thoroughly clean glass with provided alcohol pads only. If
pads dry out, use only isopropyl alcohol for rewetting of pads.
CAUTION: Do not install antenna base or Coupling Box
directly over glass embedded wires.
3. Carefully mount whip and base assembly on the outside of
the glass. Verify whip is perfectly vertical before removing
liner and applying the base adhesive to the glass.
CAUTION: Adhesive pad will stick to the glass instantly
and cannot be removed without having to replace. Be
sure the positioning is correct before it touches the
glass.
4. Press and hold tightly for a few minutes; knead entire base
surface area to assure adhesion across entire surface.
If temperature is below 50°F (10°C), heat base with hair
dryer then press and hold until cool. Optimum cure time for
adhesive is 24 hours at 70°F.
5. Remove protective liner from Coupling Box pad. Carefully
center Coupling Box on the inside of the glass. Note: the Mini-
UHF connector orientation must be horizontal, in either
direction, in relation to the "On-Glass" foot, as shown.
Align the Coupling Box with the exterior base. Apply the
adhesive-backed Coupling Box to the glass, following the same
procedure as called out in note 4 above.
CAUTION: Adhesive pad will stick to the glass instantly
and cannot be removed without having to replace. Be sure
the positioning is correct before it touches the glass.
