DIPOLE ANTENNA MOUNTING
1
The optimum operating range for this system is
!
dependant upon proper selection of the mounting
location for the Dipole antenna.
•
Never mount the antenna behind (or on) any metal
film or metal film window tint on the windshield.
•
Never mount the antenna so that one of the antenna
elements touches or crosses any vehicle wiring and/
or metal.
•
On vehicles with no metal film in the windshield
around the mirror and a non-electronic mirror, mount
the di-pole antenna between the headliner and
rearview mirror.
•
On vehicles equipped with an "Electronic" mirror or
vehicles with metal film in the windshield near the
mirror, mount the di-pole antenna approximately 3"
below the mirrors attachment point to the windshield
and/or any mirror electronics;
A.
Clean the selected mounting location using a
alcohol based glass cleaning solution.
B.
Mount the Di-pole antenna as shown. Remove the
protective backing from the adhesive. Use care not
to touch the adhesive backing. Firmly press on the
body of the antenna to ensure good glass to
adhesive bond.
2
Route the antenna cable to the control module mounting
location. Make sure that the antenna cable is routed free
and clear of all moving assemblies such as the
emergency brake and/or the adjustable brake pedal
assembly.
The antenna cable can generally be "tucked" behind the
headliner and "A-pillar" trim panel(s) without the need to
loosen or remove any of the trim panels. If it is
necessary to loosen or remove any of the interior trim
panels to run the antenna cable, proceed with caution as
these trim pieces are sometimes easily damaged. Also
note that some interior trim fasteners are "one-time" use
and must be replaced if removed.
