Magnetic Mount Installation
The Magnet Mount consists of (3) three individual high intensity magnets with rubber
coating. Each magnet has a stainless steel M5 center bolt.
First attach the magnets to the antenna. There are (3) three "legs" on the antenna where
the magnets are placed. Note the position of the two nylon (plastic) washers just below
and above each "leg", the stainless steel washer above the upper nylon washer and the M5
protective nut on top.
Now place the antenna with magnets on the roof of the car.
When installing the antenna cable, it's important to protect against moisture – using self
amalgating tape, or similar, wrapped around the coaxial connector. Also be careful with the
cable run from the antenna and secure it at short intervals. An unsupported length of cable
will vibrate when driving and could negatively affect the connection over time.
Dismounting:
Grab the antenna near one of the magnets and lift. When one magnet is loose, the other
two are easy to "break off". In some situations the force of the magnet may be too great
and it will be necessary to unscrew the antenna first and remove the magnets separately.
